DURING the surgery to be a way to overcome a curved spine abnormalities (scoliosis) in teenagers. But now, the braces can be a solution to cure scoliosis without surgery. “Apparently it uses relatively braces can prevent scoliosis sufferers of healing through surgery. We also found the longer children use braces, the greater the chances for a successful recovery, “said Dr. Stuart Weinstein, the head of the research team that published the New England Journal of Medicine.
He pointed out, children who put her braces for 13 hours a day had a 90-93 percent chance to correct spinal abnormalities without undergoing a surgical procedure. Well, it is becoming one of the discussions in the Scoliosis Research Society annual meeting in Lyon, France. This research was conducted on 242 adolescents in the United States and Canada. Approximately 2-3 percent of children have a form of the spine is safe, while 0.3 per cent to 0.5 per cent had a curved spine angle is so severe that the only way of healing is through surgery.
So curved spine angle reaches 50 degrees or more, the greater the risk to be even worse. Therefore, early treatment since childhood or adolescence is the best and cheapest way. The research also found that nearly half of patients who wear braces scoliosis do not need braces. Than half of those in need of braces , 41 percent of whom use the wire not in a long time , so it did not affect the in its contracting scoliosis .
“We have to admit, that we still are wrong to give care to scoliosis patients. I hope next year we can do a deeper analysis of this case, particularly in terms of braces, “said Weinstein.
