The Effect of Night-time Versus Full-time Bracing on the Sagittal Profile in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
We saw a small increase in thoracic kyphosis in the NTB group versus a small decrease in the FTB group. After bracing, 8% in the NTB group versus 24% in the FTB group showed substantial hypokyphosis. The impact of minor changes in thoracic kyphosis remains uncertain; however, a 3-fold difference in the occurrence of hypokyphosis is notable and merits further attention.
