摘要

Non-operative treatment options may prevent progression of AIS curves when implemented for the correct patients to avoid a surgical correction. This can be successful in over 70% of skeletally immature patients [8]. Several types of braces are available, and physical therapy programs focusing on correcting curves by applying direct forces to effectively derotate the curve can successfully guide patients with AIS until skeletal maturity. There is a significant psychological burden of wearing braces during adolescence, and compliance is a real clinical issue faced by treating physicians.
