Ten children with progressive congenital scoliosis have been treated by convex anterior and posterior epiphyseodesis and arthrodesis. The average curve was 54 degrees, the average age at surgery 3 years, 10 months, and the average follow-up 2 years, 9 months. There were no complications. The curve progression was halted in all cases, no fusion mass bending has been observed to date, and two patients have shown evidence of spontaneous curve improvement. Follow-up for several more years will be necessary before definitive conclusions can be reached.
10名患有进行性先天性脊柱侧凸的儿童接受了凸侧前后骨骺阻滞术和关节融合术治疗。平均弯曲度为54度，手术时的平均年龄为3岁10个月，平均随访时间为2年9个月。无并发症发生。所有病例的弯曲进展均已停止，迄今为止未观察到融合块弯曲，且两名患者有自发的弯曲改善迹象。在得出明确结论之前，还需要再随访数年。
