Özet

Study Design. Segmental fixation is the preferred technique for the surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Sublaminar wiring is a widely used, strong type of segmental fixation. The most common drawback of the sublaminar wiring is the risk of neurologic injury. The authors have applied subtransverse wiring for 3 years, and the technique seems promising.
