Abstract
Spinal deformity was recognised in the ancient works for philosophy, religion, myths, and fairy tales dating back as far as 3500BC[1,6]. Scoliosis was first described in the 5th century BC by Hippocrates. He recommended treatment with axial distraction on an extension apparatus (figure 1).
