Abstrakt: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis worsens mainly during growth at puberty. This is when non-operative treatment, by brace and physiotherapy, comes into its own. Only the brace has proven efficacy in stabilizing Cobb's angle. There are numerous types of brace and modalities of application, to be adapted to the scoliosis and the patient. What is crucial is that the patient should accept the brace, as compliance is one of the keys to success. The aim is, by the end of growth, to have a balanced spine with as little curvature as possible, to avoid aggravation and impaired quality of life in adulthood. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Expert opinion.
