    Abstract:
    The observations of 61 children with congenital scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis during the period from 6 months till 7 years of age allowed the prognostically unfavourable signs of progressing the deformation to be determined. Radical operations are recommended for elimination of the defect and correction of the deformation at the age less than 4 years. Stabilization of the area of the defect is thought to be enough when it is localized in the lumbosacral zone. Early interventions give hope for the self-correction of the sacrum and pelvis due to rearrangement of the child's sacrum.
