| Popis: | Background context Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is an important spinal deformity. No etiology directed therapy is available. Correction can be achieved with limited options by bracing. The focus of bracing is in the coronal plane and with forces directed at the apices of curves. Bending radiographs in the coronal plane are used to assess flexibility and to predict treatment outcome. The corrective potential of fulcrum lordotic bending in the sagittal plane as technique in bracing has not been addressed in radiographic studies. |
