This operation was conceived from observations made on the physiological response of the spine following surgical trauma in thoracoplasties. The above case is reported to demonstrate the efficacy of a very simple operative Procedure to assist in the correction of primary thoracic scoliosis. In this instance, a correction of from 28 degrees to 16 degrees was obtained within a period of two weeks following the operation. The correction has persisted to the present day. It was not found necessary to use a Plaster cast or any other corrective apparatus.
