Treatment of an Infantile Scoliosis with ScoliBrace® and ScoliBalance®
At age 3, the patient presented with a 40° thoracolumbar curve and a mild 10° compensatory curve. The family doctor had previously diagnosed her with infantile scoliosis and referred her to an orthopaedic surgeon, who recommended bracing. Initially fitted with a hospital-made rigid TLSO, in-brace X-rays showed only a small improvement to 33°, prompting the family to seek a second opinion.
She was prescribed a custom, over-corrective ScoliBrace® for full-time wear, along with a modified home-based ScoliBalance® program.
Results
- In-Brace Correction: In-brace X-rays at the initial brace fitting showed complete curve correction.
- 24-Month Treatment: Curve reduced from 40° to 14° out of brace (65% reduction).
- Postural Improvement: Significant reduction in trunk shift and improved alignment.
Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will continue to ensure the curve remains stable, with brace adjustments made as needed to support the child’s growth.
