Phases of scoliosis correction. Correction of scoliosis according to the traditional theories [1–5]. The first stage is the corrective phase, which is followed by the stabilisation phase. In this successful case the reported values correspond to in-cast x-rays (six months and twelve months) and then out-brace ones (from eighteen to sixty months). The last result corresponds to the final x-ray at the end of treatment, when follow-up starts.
