The use of corrective Chenot corset in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents

Abstract

Aim. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a Chenot corset in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents.

Materials and methods. Thirty-five patients aged 7 to 17 years, suffering from idiopathic scoliosis degree II-III, under our supervision, were included. The distribution according to gender was 8 boys and 27 girls. The range of the angle of scoliotic deformation before the appointment of the corset was from 21 to 47 degrees according to Cobb on the anterior-posterior x-ray of the spine performed standing. The average angle of deformation was 32 degrees.

Results. Evaluation of the effectiveness of corset therapy was carried out after the patient had adapted to the orthosis (3 months after the appointment of the corset) and reached a wearing time of 18–21 h per day on an x-ray of the spine performed in a standing corset. The average correction was 37.5%, and the average angle of deformation was reduced from 32 to 20 degrees.
