The Influence of Lumbar Modifiers on Functional and Radiological Outcomes in the Brace Treatment of Lenke Type 1 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

CONCLUSIONS: Significant improvement was observed in all types of lumbar modifiers at the end of the 2nd year compared to pre-bracing. The best improvement in the ODI score was in the 1C modifier, whereas the best improvement in the SRS-22 score was in the 1B modifier. The type of lumbar modifier should be directly taken into consideration before starting brace treatment in Lenke type 1 AIS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective study.
