 note = {A series of 267 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were investigated to know the effectiveness of brace treatment, the timing of brace removal and the causes of dropout, and following conclusions were drawn. 1. The incidence of worsening of curvature in cases in which brace treatment was completed or had to be switehed to operative treatment was 19.9%, which was significantly less than 47.8% in dropout cases who wore brace for less than 6 months (p<0.005), leading to the conclusion that brace treatment was effective for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. 2. Brace can be removed in cases in which more than one year elapsed after menarche, or growth of height in the preceding one year is less than two centimeters, because the incidence of worsening of curvature over 10 degrees is 0.7% or 1.3% in such cases. 3. Feeling of compression with a brace and shyness for bad looking seemed important factors of dropout, therefore psychological approach has to be sufficiently taken into consideration in treating scoliotic patients.},
