Abstract
Thoracoscopic AISF is safe and effective in correcting idiopathic childhood scoliosis. Correction of deformity with TAISF is equivalent to OAISF, although it takes longer and has more blood loss. However, it spares cutting muscle, uses smaller skin incisions, and appears to have superior cosmesis.
