To report on the initial experience with the Los Angeles brace, a new computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture brace used in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. This was a retrospective review of 40 idiopathic scoliosis patients who completed treatment with this new computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture brace. In-brace correction averaged 51% for the primary curves, with corrections of 53 and 22% for girls and boys, respectively. Only six patients (15%) had curve progression at brace completion. This preliminary study suggests that the new Los Angeles brace is effective in the treatment of scoliosis in girls, while avoiding some obstacles involved in traditional bracing.
报告使用洛杉矶支具（一种用于治疗特发性脊柱侧凸的新型计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造支具）的初步经验。这是一项对40例使用这种新型计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造支具完成治疗的特发性脊柱侧凸患者的回顾性研究。主弯在支具内的矫正平均为51%，女孩和男孩的矫正分别为53%和22%。仅6例患者（15%）在支具治疗结束时出现曲线进展。这项初步研究表明，新型洛杉矶支具在治疗女孩脊柱侧凸方面有效，同时避免了传统支具治疗中存在的一些障碍。
