[Book Description]

The purpose of this book is to introduce the subject of scolisis to all professional and nonprofessional people who come in contact with children. Making them aware of its early manifestations, methods of examination, early treatment, and the more recognized form of surgical treatment will, hopefully, decrease the unnecessarily large percentage of deformed and disabled adults.
