Abstract
Background: The results of 12 h nighttime Cheneau–Toulouse–Munster (CTM) brace wear on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis are poorly described. Objective: The main objective was to analyze the efficiency of 12 h nighttime CTM brace wear on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The secondary objective was to identify the factors influencing good results. Methods: One hundred and fifty consecutive patients treated between 2006 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed with subgroup analysis for the main curve pattern (main thoracic or main lumbar). The inclusion criteria were evolutive scoliosis, 12 h nighttime CTM brace wear, Risser stages 0-1-2 at the time of the prescription, and Cobb angle below 45 degrees. Success was defined as no surgery, and the main curve Cobb angle (CA) progression ≤5°. The overcurve was defined as the proximal thoracic curve above the main thoracic and mid-thoracic above the main lumbar curves. A logistic regression model was built to assess the predictors of success. RESULTS: Overall success was 70%: 60% for main thoracic (MT) and 84% for main lumbar scoliosis (ML) (p = 0.003). Efficacy was 62% at Risser stage 0 and 78% at Risser stage 1–2 (p = 0.054). For MT, failure was associated with high in-brace sagittal C7 tilt (Odds Ratio = 0.72, p = 0.014) and low initial overcurve CA (Odds Ratio = 0.42, p = 0.044). For ML, a high standing height was associated with success (OR = 1.42, p = 0.035), and frontal unbalanced C7 tilt was associated with failure (OR = 0.43, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Twelve-hour nighttime CTM brace wear provided good results for main lumbar curves with balanced frontal C7 tilt. For MT, this treatment is indicated if the in-brace sagittal C7 tilt is well balanced from Risser stage 2.
