Skeletally Immature Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Curves 15°–24° Are at High Risk for Progression

ConclusionsCurve progression for small curves (15°–19°) is similar to curves between 20° and 24°. Close observation or perhaps early intervention for these patients is necessary. These data may suggest a paradigm shift to earlier brace initiation and call for early treatment in small curves.Level of EvidenceLevel II.
