Thirty-five patients with scoliosis were treated with posterior fusion including the Harrington instrumentation technique. The operation was followed by a 1-year period of treatment in a Milwaukee brace. The patients had a thoracic or a thoracolumbar curve averaging 74 degrees. The mean initial correction was 45 per cent, and the mean final correction 33 per cent, after 2 3/4 years. There were no cases of pseudarthrosis and only one case of transient paresis. There were no deaths. It is concluded that these results are satisfactory and that the method is a safe one in experienced hands.
35例脊柱侧弯患者接受了包括哈林顿器械技术在内的后路融合术治疗。术后患者佩戴密尔沃基支具进行为期1年的治疗。患者的胸椎或胸腰段侧弯平均为74度。2又3/4年后，平均初始矫正率为45%，平均最终矫正率为33%。无假关节形成病例，仅1例出现短暂性轻瘫。无死亡病例。结论是这些结果令人满意，且在经验丰富的医生手中，该方法是安全的。
