The psychosocial sequelae of treatment by Milwaukee brace were investigated in 38 girls. These girls were found to cope well after an initial critical period. Only minor disturbances of body image and sexual attitudes were observed. It seems that except for individual severe cases, no specific psychiatric intervention is needed in those patients, and a competent orthopedic surgeon could manage all the psychological aspects.
对38名女孩使用密尔沃基支具治疗后的心理社会后遗症进行了调查。发现这些女孩在经历最初的关键时期后能够很好地应对。仅观察到轻微的身体形象和性态度方面的困扰。似乎除个别严重病例外，这些患者无需特殊的精神科干预，一名合格的骨科医生就能处理所有心理方面的问题。
