Adolescent hyperkyphosis, both idiopathic and due to Scheuermann Disease (SD), is frequently treated with bracing, but results are scarce, and there are few studies about the use of TLSO
The outcome criteria included the following: mean C7 and L3 plumbline distance change and number of patients for which there was a significant change for C7 and L3 according to a previous study, where we considered a change of at least 10 mm to be clinically significant
