Construction called "endocorrector" allows to cure first as well as most complicated - third and forth - stages of scoliosis among children older than 7 years.

Endocorrector is prepared from titanium alloy and serves for straightening of spine by means of elastic plates. Construction forms conditions for proper development of dorsal bone structure until the end of their growth, keeps natural mobility of the spine, excludes wearing of the corset.

Durting surgery, which lasts for 1.5-2.5 hours, endocorrector is placed under back muscles along the spine.

The construction is unnoticeable and doesn`t prevent normal way of life. 14-21 days after surgery a child is discharged from hospital and lives as usual.

Construction is removed after spine growth stops. In several cases, such as pregnancy, removal is postponed. Construction doesn`t influence pregnancy and natural delivery, helps to avoid possible spinal curvature during carrying of a pregnancy.

Principles of Krasnoyarsk orthopedists were presented on various Russian and International forums, marked at various exhibitions as one of most effective ones.

At present moment endocorrectors are clinically approved and produced in Krasnoarsk region by workers of defence industry.

Doctors insist that using suggested method scoliosis is corrected in more than 90% of cases.
