SpineCore treatment for idiopathic scoliosis: updates and follow-up results.

Results The 576 patients with a definite outcome followed the same pattern of result presented before, 36.3% corrected their Cobb angle with at least 5° and 31.3% had a stabilization of their Cobb angle. Out of all patients with a definite outcome, 16.1 % of patients had surgical recommendation before skeletal maturity and only 9.7% had a progression of their Cobb angle. Looking at the stability of the curves after the end of the treatment, out of the patients that finished the treatment and had at least 2 years of follow-up, 14.5% continued their correction even without the brace and it seems that the correction continues more with time because 33.3% of those patients who had at least 5 years follow-up still corrected their Cobb angle after the weaning of the brace.
