Purpose

To evaluate outcome in patients with late onset juvenile scoliosis or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis 15 years or more after Boston brace treatment.

Methods

281 of 369 patients (22 men) with late onset juvenile (n=67) or adolescent (n=214) braced at mean 24.7 (range 16-32) years previously, responded to follow-up. Patients answered a standardized questionnaire including demographics, work status, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) (100 - worst possible), EuroQol (EQ-5D) (1 – best possible), and Scoliosis Research Society - 22 (SRS - 22) (5 - best possible), and had radiological examination.
