Nonoperative management of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS) has been reported to be less effective than that of infantile idiopathic scoliosis. The goal of this study was to analyse the results of casting and/or bracing in JIS. Clinical data from seven patients with JIS, treated with casting followed by bracing (n=3) or by bracing alone (n=4), were retrospectively collected, and curve severity was measured before, during and after treatment. The median Cobb angle decreased from 37° to 25°. No patient needed surgery at a median follow-up of 4.6 years (3.4-9.1 years). Casting and/or bracing is effective for the management of JIS.
