In selected patients a method of rod insertion without fusion combined with use of a full-time external orthotic support, e.g., the Milwaukee brace, is effective. The orthopedic surgeon confronted with young children who have curves that do not respond to conservative treatment alone or in which bracing is contraindicated should find this procedure particularly suitable. The method allows for the expression of full growth potential while maintaining curve correction.
在部分患者中，一种不进行融合的棒插入方法结合使用全职外部矫形支撑装置，例如密尔沃基支具，是有效的。面对那些侧弯对单纯保守治疗无反应或支具治疗禁忌的幼儿的骨科医生，会发现这种方法特别适用。该方法在维持侧弯矫正的同时，能让生长潜力充分发挥。
