Introduction to Non-Surgical Treatment of Scoliosis and Other Deviations

Understanding Scoliosis, Kyphosis, and Spondylolisthesis

Scoliosis, kyphosis, and spondylolisthesis are common spinal deviations that can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Scoliosis involves a sideways curvature of the spine, kyphosis is characterized by an excessive outward curve of the spine, and spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra slips out of place. Understanding these conditions is crucial for effective treatment.

The Importance of Non-Surgical Interventions

Non-surgical interventions are essential for managing spinal deviations, offering a less invasive and often more effective approach compared to surgery. These methods focus on improving posture, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility through targeted exercises and therapies.

Overview of the Lyon Method

The Lyon Method is a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to treating scoliosis and other spinal deviations. Developed through extensive research and clinical practice, this method emphasizes personalized treatment plans and incorporates a variety of techniques to address the unique needs of each patient.

Review of mechanical characteristics and properties of braces

(F. Barral, CPO, DIU d’appareillage du rachis, Scientific committe group Proteor-Lecante, University Lyon I,University J.Monnet, Saint-Etienne)

FOREWORD: Why this review?

✓    There is a wide variety of braces around the world, each team developing their own technique from available means and materials.
The mistake has long been to want to treat each scoliosis with the same type of brace. This created partisan discussions and “parochial disputes”. Today, the association of different methods increases the chances of successful treatment.
✓    Old designed braces are still used today, for their specific properties. No pre-eminence of a « champion » that would have made them
outdated.
✓    The SOSORT classification only knows those that have been the subject of scientific papers (Scoliosis). For example, the Garchois brace, the 3D from Saint-Etienne, the 4 points, are not known.
✓    The main indicator of good results, Cobb angle, is set to change because obsolete and unsuitable.
✓    The existence of schools (Lyon, Chêneau, etc…) is essential for teaching, as learning this job is complex, without a real reference book for CPO. The practical aspect is very important but rarely complete, and reaching an expert-level takes many years of practice.
✓    One important subject has to be treated: remuneration and ethics.

 
1.    State of the art: the different braces, in 4 groups

a.    Plaster brace E.D.F. (Elongation, Dérotation, Flexion)

b.    Adjustable braces


c.    Monoshell braces :
 


 

d.    Mixed braces :

2.    REMINDER : Treatment action objectives

Hueter-Volkmann law :
- nucleus refocusing


-Ligamentous creep : according to some authors, only permanent traction for 3 weeks allows permanent modification of ligaments length


-Coupled movements : Harrison Fryette (1918)+ Panjabi

 

3.    PROPERTIES and MECHANICAL ACTIONS of ORTHESES : external actions – internal effects


3.1    Active or passive axial distraction

3.2    Segmental translation ( progressivity if settings) :

3.3    Lumbar level : shift + lordosis = derotation


3.4 Opening the ilio-lumbar angle


 
3.5    Thoracic level, hump modeling

3.6    Kyphosis research

3.7    Bendings

3.8    Re-balancing by asymmetric cutlines

3.9    Positional re-balancing (postural part of the curves)

3.10    Segmental twist + high rigidity + axial distraction (baby lift)

The different levels can untwist while sliding inside, thanks to the material and the interface.


3.11    Respect of vital capacity and thoracic growth

Rigid supports of the Lyonbrace become dynamic, thanks to carbon blades, and still ajustable.

3.12    Comfort (no child will accepts to wear a brace that hurts)

 
3.13    Aesthetic : the ability to choose improves appropriation

EACH OF THESE PROPERTIES MAY BE NECESSARY

NO BRACE HAS ALL THESE PROPERTIES

4.    IN PRACTICE : from assessment to orthesis


✓    Age (infantiles, juveniles, adolescents)
✓    Clinical aspect: humps, imbalances, oblical departures, etc…
✓    Topographic localisation of the curves
✓    Importance of the curvature (Cobb)
✓    Rigidity vs reductibility
✓    Sagittal plane (flat back)
✓    Complications ( neurological, cardio-respiratory, connective disorders, obesity, etc…)
✓    Psychological aspects (acceptance, appropriation). Compliance.

5.    DISCUSSION :

 

Limits may exist : economic, technical, know-how. Not everyone has access to the most sophisticated tools.

« Schools » are necessary to learn, but often dogmatic and therefore limiting : should we still make Milwaukee braces with leather belts today to remain faithfull to W.Blount and claim his good results, statistically significant ?

Cobb angle is today unsuitable and outdated. The “top view” will be a better tool in the future.

Limits of conservative orthopédic treatment : for example here, very little internal effect (Ehlers – Danlos syndrome)

What fair remuneration for our braces ?


Do we have to validate and pay for this useless work ?


 Or this one, increasing flat back ?


Regulation is essential.
 


6.    CONCLUSION

The specific characteristics of each brace can be referenced. We could imagine a few basic braces, with an arsenal of possible variants and additions, to adress the priorities of each patient.

The Evidence Based Medicine leaves considerable room for practitioner’s experience.

Once he masters this wide range of possibilities, the practicioner-expert can design and realise braces « à la carte », like a mosaïc. The aim is to propose to each patient the best brace for their case, whatever its name (Brace « with no name ») .
This review is not complete, it is the foundation for future reflections and work. It is the CPO’s « point of view ». Teaching and passing on the experience remain the fundamental challenge.


The scientific approach (SOSORT) is precious and essential. The clinical practice is paramount.


An ethical and regulatory approach is necessary and still needs to be done.
