“…Bick, Barash and Lehman (1958) drew reattention to the role of the disc, by describing two cases of congenital scoliosis, one of which demonstrated concave annular compression and the other, definite displacement of the disc to the convex side. Perey and Rydman (1962) and Perey (1963) per formed discography at the apex of three curves and found asymmetric positioning of the nucleus. In two patient this was convex, and in one, concave.…”

In 1958, on joining the staff of the New York Orthopedic Hospital, it was my good fortune to become associated with several men who were deeply interested in the problems of scoliosis and spine fusion, in fact, an interest that has been maintained since the original work of Hibbs with this disease. This investigation has consisted of two parts, the first of which, the clinical, began when Professor Frank E. Stinchfield made me responsible for the Scoliosis Service at Columbia University. With a background of over 2,500 surgically treated patients with spinal deformity, the majority of whom have been carefully followed, it was believed that the New York Orthopaedic Hospital could provide valid conclusions about the efficacy of existing treatment. In 1965, the second phase, the experimental, was begun in the Biomechanics Laboratory of the University of Gothenburg. Professor Carl Hirsch has provided the facilities, encouragement, and personal guidance which enabled this work to be carried out. Any study of this nature depends upon the cooperation and assistance of many people. I would like to thank the staff at the Orthopedic Clinic for their suggestions and cooperation. During the execution of particular phases of this project, technical problems arose which required the assistance of specialists from other institutions. I would particularly like to thank Engineers Sören Rolandsson and Hans Akesson of the AB Atomenergi in Studsvik,

Using Wister albino rats, bipedal rats were prepared; to which semicarbazide at a concentration of 0.075%, 0.05% and 0.025% were given as drinking water and the rats were divided into three groups A, B and C according to such concentrations. Osteolathyrism was caused in this way and the relations between doses as well as the dosing period and the progress of scoliosis were examined roentgenologically and histologically and the following conclusions were obtained. 1. The frequency of occurrence of scoliosis was 82% in the bipedal rats and 13% in the quadrupedal rats (level of significance alpha = 0.001% or less). 2. Primordial top vertebrae were located concentratively in the lower 1/3 of thoracic vertebra. 3. In the primordial curve, those cases showing a right side curve accounted for 76%. 4. After termination of administration of semicarbazide, spontaneous improvement took place only in those cases showing scoliosis of less than 40 degrees. 5. In the author's experimental scoliosis, the static and dynamic condition of posture nearly coincided with those of men in clinical studies. 6. Histological changes were especially marked in the cartilage layer on the vertebral epiphyseal line, being quite diversified.
