- 13-year-old female
- Initial Cobb angle 24º
- Risser 3
This thirteen-year-old Virginia girl presented with an initial Cobb angle of 24º. Her parents opted to have her fit in our corrective scoliosis brace after her older brother achieved good results in his Chêneau-Gensingen brace. Both siblings also completed several hours of Schroth instruction. The patient’s initial x-ray, left, was taken a few days before her initial brace fitting. Her most recent x-ray, age 16, right, measures less than 10º – no longer considered scoliosis!
