Background
The immediate reducibility of the Cobb angle in brace is
the fundamental parameter of success of non-surgical
orthopedic treatment of scoliosis.
Design
The new Lyon brace is constructed with two
asymmetrical lateral polycarbonate pieces connected posteriorly at
the midline by a vertical incurved bar. The brace
reproduce a twisted column in the opposite direction of
scoliosis. The shape is obtained by superposition of three
segmental electronic moldings which will be
superimposed by a new software: OrtenShape.
Results
The results of a prospective series of the first 100
consecutive patients were studied using EOS X-ray and
compared with results obtained by other braces.
Radiologically, in the frontal plane, the immediate in
brace reduction is on average (0.72) (0.63 +- 0.19 for
thoracic curves & 0.76 +- 0.26 for lumbar curves. These
results can be classified:
- Depending on the type of curvature:
thoracolumbar (0.98),
lumbar (0.71),
double major (0.67)
lumbar (0.67),
thoracic (0.64)

Conclusion
The new Lyon brace (ARTbrace) allows a better
immediate in-brace reduction than the old Lyon brace.
without need for a preliminary plaster cast.
