Description: Few studies have evaluated long-term outcome after bracing using validated quality of life outcome. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term outcome in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) 12 years or more after treatment with Boston brace.
Conclusion Long-term results were satisfactory in most patients with AIS treated with the Boston brace.
