Abstract
Background Controversies still exist regarding the effectiveness of brace treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Purpose The goal of this study was to analyze the outcomes of brace treatment for AIS and to clarify the factors affecting the results of the treatment. Methods According to the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) AIS brace studies standardization criteria, the following conditions were used to determine which patients to include in this study: aged 10 years or older, Risser 0-II, primary curve magnitude 25°-40° and no prior treatment when the brace was subscribed. At skeletal maturity, the percentage of patients whose curve progressed more than 6°, whose curve exceeded 45° or who underwent surgery was investigated. These results were compared with natural history or other brace studies. Factors affecting the results were analyzed. Results
