Efficacy analysis for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treated with Milwaukee or Boston orthosis

Objective To evaluate the efficacy about the different wearing manner with Milwaukee and Boston for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).Methods Retrospectively summarization and analysis was performed in 85 adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis who were treated from February 2004 to March 2009.The skeletal growth of them had not completed.There were 57 cases who received brace treatment.In them,28 were treated with (CTLSO) Milwaukee brace,and the rest were treated with (TLSO) Boston brace and orthopedic gymnastics.The 30 cases wear regularly used for 21 to 23hours per day,and 27 cases could consist on wearing only 6 to 15 hours per day.The other 28 cases of 85AIS cases were only treated with orthopedic gymnastics instead of orthosis treatment.All patients were periodically observed with lateral side (X)-ray photograph at standing position and photograph,and Cobb angle and Risser sign were measured every 3 to 6 months.Since 2008 all adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients treated with orthosis were requested to fill with simplified Chinese SRS-22.Results 73 cases adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients were followed up for 2 ～5 years mean(26.3 ± 33.7)months ].Milwaukee orthosis group showed the regular wearing group had 91.67 ％ ( 11/12) effective rate and the intermittent wearing group had 56.25％ (9/16) effective rate and the group without wearing orthosis only had 20％ (4/20)effective rate.The group regularly wearing Milwaukee brace had superior effect than the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ).Boston orthosis group showed the regular wearing group had 88.89％ (16/18) effective rate and the intermittent wearing group had 54.55％ (6/11 ) effective rate and the group without wearing brace with 25％ (2/8) effective rate.The group regularly wearing Boston brace had better effect than the other two groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Due to the different choice of AIS patients and orthosis,the effective rate of the Milwaukee and Boston orthosis was not compared.Conclusions The adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients should insist on regularly wearing brace regardless of the Milwaukee or Boston orthosis ( this article suggest that the wearing time should not less than 21 ～ 23 h/d).The group regularly wearing with the Milwaukee or Boston orthosis had better effect than the intermittent group or the group without wearing brace.It's a good treatment for the AIS patients who have with the indication of orthosis treatment.
