Impact of the Free-Pelvis Innovation in Very Rigid Braces for Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis: Short-Term Results of a Matched Case-Control Study

Abstract: We introduced pelvis semi-rigid material (ethylene vinyl acetate) (Free-Pelvis) to improve the comfort and adaptability of very rigid braces (VRBs) for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but this can also negatively impact the corrective forces on the trunk. Study Design: This was a matched retrospective cohort study. The inclusion criteria were AIS, age 10–16, VRB 23 h/day, X-rays available, primary curve 36°–65°, and angle of trunk rotation 7–23°. The cases were Sforzesco VRB with Free-Pelvis (FPB)… Show more

“…It could have reduced stability because the APB is not fixed like the hinges of the SfB and due to the FP. The latter has already been tested and does not negatively impact the short-term clinical results [15].…”

“…Brace efficacy is strongly related to dosage [12,13], but brace-wearing hours are also considered inversely correlated to demand on patients [1,4,14]. Materials, production methods, and personalization of the brace have all evolved in the last decades to improve efficacy and patient comfort [7,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. It can be postulated that increased comfort could also improve compliance, which is one of the main factors of brace efficacy [15].…”
