The Milwaukee brace in paralytic scoliosis.
The Milwaukee brace possesses excellent passive properties in addition to the well known dynamic action, and is of definite value in the bracing of paralytic curves in children in whom a fusion should be de-delayed. This application is a temporary but at the same time a long term expedient to allow spine growth prior to surgery.
