İn the 2. Clinic of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Ankara Social Insurances Hospital from September 1991 to March 1992, 16 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis cases have been treated with TSRH system. İn this study we are presenting our early results. At the end of the first three months mean Cobb angle correction of scoliosis was 31° and mean Aaro's angle correction vvas 7.5°. Mean vital capacity increase was 29 % and loss of correction was 3°, Although we have very limited experience with TSRH system we found our early results satisfactory.
