ABSTRACT At the present time our preventive methods do not fully prevent the occurrence of scoliosis subsequent to juvenile paraplegia. The methods of management must be: (_a_) preventive;


(_b_) early non-operative correction, such as braces; and by (_c_) operative correction. The operative correction must be both an anterior and posterior procedure to give good spinal


alignment. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS THE EFFICACY OF BRACING IN THE TREATMENT OF PROGRESSIVE EARLY-ONSET SCOLIOSIS Article Open access 03 May 2024 THE PREVALENCE OF SCOLIOSIS
