Abstract
By the PRMS protocol, there is an indication for brace treatment. Conclusion Clinical evidence supports the application of more variables in the treatment decision of whether to recommend brace wearing. Cobb angle, Risser sign and chronological age may not be enough. It is important to obtain other data from the observation of the patient, including a hand-wrist X-ray according to Greulich and Pyle Atlas.
