Does the coronal deformity angular ratio affect bracing outcome in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis?
C-DAR is an independent predictor for progression to a surgical magnitude in AIS patients treated with bracing. Patients with a higher C-DAR should be counseled to help set realistic expectations regarding the likelihood of curve progression despite compliance with brace wear.
