Early results of Rigo-Chêneau type brace treatment

Early results of Rigo-Chêneau type brace treatment

Results Average Cobb angle before treatment was 36.5°, which was reduced in the trial brace to 23.2°: correction rate was 36% (34% for T, 69% for TL, and 31% for D curve). Of 54 patients, 20 met the inclusion criteria of the SRS brace study (Risser 0-2, Cobb angle 25-40° ) and six of them reached skeletal maturity during the treatment period. Three of them (50%) progressed more than 6°; however...

Brace technology thematic series: the 3D Rigo Chêneau-type brace

BACKGROUND Chêneau and Matthias introduced in 1979 a brace concept inspired in casting. The brace was initially named "CTM" from Chêneau-Toulouse-Münster. The name "CTM" is still popular in France but "Chêneau-type brace" is its common name in the rest of the world. Principles to construct this brace were originally based on anatomical descriptions rather than biomechanics, and its standard is ...

Outcome of Rigo-Chêneau type brace treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis - using the Scoliosis Research Society brace studies inclusion criteria

Results A total of 32 patients, 27 females and 5 males, met the SRS inclusion criteria. Average age at the beginning of the treatment was 12.0 years (10 to 15). Risser sign was 0 in13, I in 7, and II in 12 patients. Curve pattern was thoracic (T) in 12, thoracolumbar or lumbar (TL) in 12 and double (D) in 8 patients. Average Cobb angle before treatment was 30.9°. Initial correction rate by the ...

Using of Chêneau brace for early onset scoliosis treatment

Differentiated approach to Chêneau brace choice for the scoliosis treatment

Materials and methods Study group included 1700 patients with AIS treated by Cheneau brace [1]. Major deformity Cobb angle ranged 20°-40°, spinal rotation ranged 15°-35°. Age of the patients was ranged 11-15 years old. Radilogic mesurements and clinical presentation of the spinal deformity during the investigation were assesed [2]. Mean followup was 5 years. In this study Rigo’s clinical and ra...
