Abstract
One method of treatment for scoliosis consists of using a custom-made plastic underarm jacket made of Orthoplast. The results of treatment in the first forty-eight patients with idopathic scoliosis to complete the treatment program showed arrest of the progression of the curve in forty-two. Comparisons were made with the Milwaukee brace. The key prognostic factors for success appeared to be the severity and flexibility of the curve at the start of treatment.Entities:
