Abstract

Totally, 244 females with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treated by brace were followed for at least 2 years after treatment. The initial curve magnitude correlated with failure, notably thoracic curves. The Boston brace was more successful than the Milwaukee brace irrespective of initial curve magnitude and skeletal maturity.
