Abstract
Material and methods The inclusion criteria where: 1) High risk of evolution: family history and/or proven progressive 2) No significant pathological malformation of the spine; 3) Girl or boy; 4) Initial Cobb angle between 15° and 30°; 5) Risser 0, 1 or 2. Assessment of brace effectiveness included; 1) percentage of patients who have 5° or less curve progression and the percentage of patients who have 6° or more progression at skeletal maturity, 2) percentage of patients who have had surgery recommendation/undergone before skeletal maturity.
Highlights
The purpose of this randomized study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dynamic SpineCor brace [1,2] for early adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (15°-30°) compared to the natural evolution of the disease. 47 patients participated in this study (26 treated and 21 controls)
The SpineCor brace is effective for the treatment of early adolescent idiopathic scoliosis comparing with its natural history
The positive outcome appears to be maintained in the long term
