Authors analysed the outcomes of surgical treatment in 108 patients with scoliosis. Depending on surgical technique the patients were divided into 4 groups. The base of surgical procedures was different combinations of Harrington distractor with Luque rod as well as with segmental angular resection at the deformity apex. The efficacy of segmental angular resection that enabled to mobilize the rigid scoliotic deformity and increase intraoperative correction was detected. The combination of that procedure with the deformity correction by Harrington distractor and lateral traction by Luque rod allowed to achieve more marked correction and to preserve it to a greater degree and for longer time (2 years after operation 67,8% of achieved correction was preserved). It was also shown that fixation of corrective spine by Harrington distractor only did not provide considerable preservation of primary achieved correction in long term postoperative period (2 years after operation 47,3% of the achieved correction was preserved).
