The effect of brace treatment history on bone density in preoperative patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) assessed by vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score: a retrospective propensity score-matched analysis
Brace treatment may potentially enhance bone density in AIS patients by mitigating vertebral fat infiltration. The utilization of VBQ scores presents an alternative, potentially robust approach to assessing bone quality.
