    The Boston Thoracic Brace effectively treated scoliosis, achieving a 41% mean curve correction. This outcome surpassed the Milwaukee Brace

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Scoliosis treatment often involves bracing to correct spinal curvature.
    • Traditional braces like the Milwaukee Brace have been widely used.
    • The Boston Brace, a modified TLSO (Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis), offers an alternative design.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Boston Thoracic Brace in treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
    • To compare the corrective outcomes of the Boston Thoracic Brace with the Milwaukee Brace.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study involving 57 patients with 91 major scoliosis curves.
    • Patients treated with the Boston Thoracic Brace (without superstructures).
    • Measurement of initial curve degrees and post-treatment correction.

    Main Results:

    • The Boston Thoracic Brace achieved a mean correction of 12.9 degrees (41%).
    • The Milwaukee Brace achieved a mean correction of 3.6 degrees (10%) in thoracic scoliosis.
    • The Boston Thoracic Brace demonstrated superior correction compared to the Milwaukee Brace.

    Conclusions:

    • The Boston Thoracic Brace is an effective treatment for thoracic scoliosis.
    • This brace provides superior curve correction compared to the Milwaukee Brace.
    • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and patient compliance.
