Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the impact of brace therapy on 69 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis over a four-year period, focusing on outcomes post-brace weaning like surgery necessity and curve progression.
- - Results showed that 20.3% of patients required surgery, with a notable correlation between initial Cobb angles and the likelihood of needing surgery, as well as age-related factors influencing curve progression.
- - The effectiveness of brace treatment varied among subgroups, noting that in-brace correction was significantly better in patients who showed curve improvement, although the time worn did not significantly affect outcomes.
