Abstract

Introduction. Scheuermann kyphosis is a common disease which is seen mostly in adolescence. Research about none surgical treatment of this disease has not yet be done in our country. We investigated results of nonsurgical treatment of the patients who presented to private office or Alzahra Hospital Clinic from 1994 to 2002. These patients used braces.Methods. The numbers of the patients were 273 during 8 years. Average age was 14 (12 to 17 ages). Average kyphose curve was 57 (52 - 65) degrees. All the patients were treated by C.T.L.S.O (Milwaukee brace). 29 of the 273 were excluded of this research because of incorrect way of using the brace. 139 of the patients were males and 105 were females.Results. Dorsal kyphosis got to less than 40 degrees in 225 patients (total 244). Dorsal kyphosis got worse in 19 patients (8%); but the progress was not that much that make surgery necessary. Among those patients who completely recovered (225 cases), 35 cases had increase in their kyphotic curve 4 months after leaving braces. These patients used braces again till their skeletal maturity. Most of the recurrence happened around the skeletal maturily age. The interesting finding was that 21 cases who had recurrence were males which can enforce the mechanical theory of the disease. The degree of kyphosis after 5 years treatment was not different from the result after 18 months treatment and this could be because of skeletal maturity of the most of the patients at treatment age.Discussion. Those patient who used C.T.L.S.O cured and 92% of them their thoracic kyphosis reached less than 40 degrees. 8% of the patients increased, but no need to operation.
