Does Risser stage accurately predict the risk of curve progression in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treated with night-time bracing?
PurposeRisser stage is widely used as a marker for skeletal maturity (SM) and thereby an indirect measure for the risk of progression of adolescent...

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: is there a relationship between Risser staging and the proximal humerus ossification system?
PurposeTo evaluate whether there is a mismatch between Risser staging and the proximal humerus ossification system (PHOS); and to analyze the...

Substantial mismatch of skeletal maturity assessment between Risser sign and Simplified Skeletal Maturity Scale/Thumb Ossification Composite Index in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
BackgroundRecently, hand skeletal maturity systems such as the Simplified Skeletal Maturity Scale (SSMS) or Thumb Ossification Composite Index (TOCI)...

Assessment of malalignment at early stage in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a longitudinal cohort study
IntroductionOur objective was to assess abnormalities of the odontoid-hip axis (OD-HA) angle in a mild scoliotic population to determine whether...

As fast as an X-ray: real-time magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents
BackgroundIdiopathic scoliosis is common in adolescence. Due to the rapid growth of the spine, it must be monitored closely with radiographs to...

Can the proximal humeral ossification system (PHOS) effectively guide brace weaning in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis?
PurposeThe proximal humeral epiphyses can be conveniently viewed in routine spine radiographs. This study aimed to investigate whether the proximal...

Early brace treatment for idiopathic scoliosis may change the paradigm to improve curves
PurposeThis study evaluated whether early brace treatment of curves < 25° decreased the prevalence of curve progression and surgery.

The effect of Providence night-time bracing on the sagittal profile in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
PurposeAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by coronal scoliosis and often a sagittal hypokyphosis. The effect of bracing on the...
