Initial In-Brace Correction: Can the Evaluation of Cobb Angle Be the Only Parameter Predictive of the Outcome of Brace Treatment in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis?

This study confirms that immediate in-brace correction can foretell the brace treatment outcome. Patients with a low Risser sign and a high rate of in-brace correction showed a bracing success of 87%. A correlation between rotation and in-brace correction confirms that rotation is among the parameters that influence the deformed spine reaction to corrective actions the most.
