Zusammenfassung:Post-Harrington techniques for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have increased the complexity of scoliosis surgery while contributing only biomechanically more secure fixation and sagittal contour preservation. On the the basis of principles defined by Harrington, the authors developed a simplified technique that accomplishes equivalent outcomes.
