Spine Bracing Goal is to halt progression of curve 4O 30O
30O 4O 12/00 13+2 12/00 13+2
Spine Braces • Worn until skeletal maturity (adult height) is reached • Goal is final curve of < 40 degrees • Always some spring back once out of the brace
Spine Surgery • Appears to be rarely necessary in Stickler syndrome for scoliosis • We have no data for how well other spine surgeries perform in our patients
