While severe scoliosis in boys is less common than in girls, KE’s case is an example of progressive scoliosis in a male patient. KE was first diagnosed with scoliosis when he was 11 years old. At the time, the scoliosis was mild and was discovered because of back pain. After a couple of years of observation and moderate progression, KE was fit with a nighttime bending brace at another facility. Despite nighttime bracing, a new x-ray (taken 1.5 years later) revealed that KE’s scoliosis had progressed significantly and measured 46° in the thoracic spine. At that point, his mother reached out to us at Scoliosis 3DC® seeking information about other treatment options for scoliosis.

We fit KE with a brace (for full-time wear) and participated in our Schroth program for his specific curve pattern. KE’s had amazing postural improvement (after a 6-month span) clearly shows that he was a very compliant patient! His follow-up x-ray (30+ hours out of his scoliosis brace, taken at an independent facility) also demonstrated a significant improvement in Cobb angle. His scoliosis had reduced to to 31° thoracic and 16° lumbar (originally 46° thoracic and 23°)! KE did vrey well he was progressing rapidly in his previous scoliosis brace.
