ABSTRACT:

Background

The results of 12 h nighttime Cheneau-Toulouse-Munster (CTM) brace wear on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis are poorly described.

Objective

The main objective was to analyze the efficiency of 12 h nighttime CTM brace wear on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The secondary objective was to identify the factors influencing good results.

Methods

One hundred and fifty consecutive patients treated between 2006 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed with subgroup analysis for the main curve pattern (main thoracic or main lumbar). The inclusion criteria were evolutive scoliosis, 12 h nighttime CTM brace wear, Risser stages 0-1-2 at the time of the prescription, and Cobb angle below 45 degrees. Success was defined as no surgery, and the main curve Cobb angle (CA) pro
