title: The treatment of lumbar scoliosis with a three piece brace.
abstract: On the basis of thirty-two cases, the authors discuss the indications, methods of treatment and typical techniques of the three piece brace. They conclude that there are several good reasons for adopting this appliance, both with regard to its capacity for correction and its aesthetic qualities. It should, however, be restricted to lumbar and low dorsilumbar scoliotic curves not exceeding 40 degrees.
