Origin of an Idea in Spinal Treatment History
A Leslie's Monthly writer recounts Dr. Lewis A Sayre’s idea for treating spinal tuberculosis by a rigid spine device. The elder Sayre devised a plaster jacket to keep the spine upright, reducing diseased load and allowing recovery, with the vertebrae eventually fusing into a bone mass over years. Reginald H Sayre, his son, carries on the practice today.
