Özet
Konjenital muskuler tortikolisli üç hasta, SCM kasın bipolar tenotomisi ve postoperatif dönemde altı ay süre ile uygulanan özel tip tortikolis ateli ile tedavi edildi. Yeni geliştirilen bu özel atelin pratik hasta ipin kullanımı rahat egzersizlere izin veren, rahat çıkarıp takılabilen ve hastanın hijyenik sorunlarında Minerva alçısına göre büyük rahatlık sağladığı kanısına varıldı.
