In 490 BC, [[Hippocrates]] described [[scoliosis]] for the first time. In 1890, Lewis Sayre popularized plaster of Paris casts that he applied to patients while they were standing in a vertical suspension device and attempted to correct both lateral and rotational deformities and held them with a cast. In 1931, Hibbs along with Risser and Ferguson suggested  of the turnbuckle cast for preoperative correction and creation of a window in the back of the cast through which to operate, while maintaining correction. In 1948, John Cobb described a method of measuring [[scoliosis]] curve magnitude radiologically and is still widely used today. In the same year, Walter Blount, together with Albert Schmidt, popularized their Milwaukee [[Brace (orthopaedic)|brace]]. In 1955, Paul Harrington developed Harrington distraction instrumentation which was a clear milestone in [[scoliosis surgery]] providing for the first time, a reliable means of obtaining and maintaining maximal deformity correction. In 1970s, Hall and Miller developed the Boston [[Brace (orthopaedic)|brace]] which has remained a popular choice in the nonoperative treatment of [[scoliosis]]. In the same period, Luque further developed the segmental spinal instrumentation system using sublaminar wires at each [[vertebral]] level connected to Harrington rods or L-shaped Luque rods. Cotrel and Dubousset introduced their segmental instrumentation method of fixation to provide three-dimensional correction of the [[Scoliosis|scoliotic]] deformity in late 1980s.
