“…At the final follow-up, the success rate of brace treatment in our study was 81%. In the literature, success rates and follow-up durations associated with other braces were lower than those associated with the Chêneau brace, 1,8,20,21 but the results of other published studies were not certain. The Chêneau brace resulted in a higher percentage of correction for thoracic curves at the final follow-up; however, it may not prevent curve progression effectively for double major curves.…”

OBJECT The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate progressive correction of coronal and sagittal alignment and pelvic parameters in patients treated with a Chêneau brace. METHODS Thirty-two patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) were assessed before initiation of bracing treatment and at the final follow-up. Each patient underwent radiological examinations, and coronal, sagittal, and pelvic parameters were measured. RESULTS No statistically significant modification of the Cobb angle was noted. The pelvic incidence remained unchanged in 59% of the cases and increased in 28% of the cases. The sacral slope decreased in 34% of the cases but remained unchanged in 50%. Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis were significantly decreased, whereas the sagittal vertical axis was significantly increased from a mean of -44.0 to -30.2 mm (p = 0.02). The mean pelvic tilt increased significantly from 4.5° to 8.3° (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The Chêneau brace can be useful for preventing curvature progression in patients with AIS. However, the results of this study reveal high variability in the effect of brace treatment on sagittal and pelvic alignment. Treatment with the Chêneau brace may also influence sagittal global balance.

“…Soft braces certainly allow for more spinal and trunk mobility; however, when applied to a moderate or severe curve, with significantrotation,evidenceislacking that the rotational component of scoliosis improves. while independent studies do not corroborate this claim 18,19 . Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine and trunk, sometimes leading to a drastic increase in the curvature during growth, a process known as curvature progression [1][2][3][4][5] .…”

“…Biomechanically, correction may vary according to brace type, and each brace is tolerated differently, which may affect compliance. We may also assume that bracing outcomes will differ when comparing symmetric braces to asymmetric ones [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . One problem in the literature regarding bracing is the comparison of patient samples with different prognoses, for example varying Risser classification and/or curve magnitude.…”

“…A prospective controlled study comparing the Chêneau brace with SpineCor has clearly shown the superiority of the Chêneau brace in a sample of patients at actual risk for being progressive, fulfilling the SRS criteria for studies on bracing [10]. After growth only 8% from the SpineCor sample were not progressive and 80% of the Chêneau group.…”

Background: As has been demonstrated before bracing concepts in use today for the treatment of scoliosis include symmetric and asymmetric hard braces usually made of polyethylene (PE) and soft braces. The plaster cast method worldwide seems to be the most practiced technique for the construction of hard braces at the moment. CAD/ CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) systems are available which allow brace adjustments without plaster. As in the Ukraine the CAD/CAM technology is not affordable, we have tried to build our hand made braces according to this standard via cast modelling. Aim of this study is to compare in-brace corrections of our brace built according to Best Practice Chêneau standards by hand with the published results available in literature on Chêneau braces. In-brace correction and compliance clearly determine the outcome of bracing. Therefore the inbrace correction is one of the most important parameters to estimate brace quality.
