Abstract Introduction Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), a prevalent condition among teenagers, is often accompanied by osteopenia. However, the impact of brace treatment on bone density in AIS patients remains a matter of debate. The Vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score, derived from MRI signal intensity, has been shown to correlate with bone mineral density (BMD). Yet, no studies to date have drawn comparisons between VBQ scores in preoperative AIS patients who had brace treatment history and those who have not received brace treatment. Objective This study aims to elucidate the influence of brace treatment on bone density in AIS patients using VBQ score. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 243 AIS patients, each with Cobb angles ranging from 50–70°, who had undergone preoperative MRI scans. The patients were segregated into two cohorts: those who received brace treatment (n = 174) and those who did not (n = 69). Through propensity score matching, a total of 53 matched pairs were selected for further analysis. VBQ scores were extracted from T1-weighted MRI scans. Results Post-matching, no significant baseline discrepancies were observed between the two groups. Interestingly, brace-treated patients exhibited lower average VBQ scores than their non-brace-treated counterparts (2.43 ± 0.11 vs. 2.55 ± 0.12, p |
