Abstract: | The Boston Thoracic Brace, i.e. a Boston Brace without superstructures, has been used for treatment of scoliosis in 57 patients with 91 major curves measuring 31.8 ± 6.5°, the apex of the scolioses varying from D 7 to L 3. There was a mean correction of 12.9 ± 6.4° (41 per cent), which was superior to that of the Milwaukee Brace also in the thoracic scolioses (mean correction 3.6 ± 5.8°) (10 per cent). |
