Association between Adverse Psychological Emotions and Postoperative Brace for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Prospective Cohort Study with Propensity Score Matching

“…Rebuilding the stability of the spine through spontaneous or bone graft fusion takes 3–6 months or more, so protective measures during this period are particularly important. Large flexion, extension or rotation activities in the early postoperative period may increase the risk of internal fixation failure, which will further increase the patient's medical burden and time cost 2 . Based on this, some scholars recommend that patients wear a postoperative brace for at least 3 months after surgery to protect the spine from insufficient mechanical load, enhance stability, and reduce the formation of false joints 3–5 .…”
