The authors have attempted to assess the efficiency of an articulated brace in the treatment of juvenile kyphosis (Scheuermann's disease and idiopathic kyphosis). Two series of patients were compared. Patients in both series were treated in a first stage by a plaster cast and in a second stage by a bivalve brace in the first series and an articulated brace in the second series. The technique of treatment by a plaster cast and by the brace is fully described. It is concluded that control of the lumbar lordosis is of great importance. The results were better with an articulated brace. The indications for treatment are given depending on the age at the onset of treatment, the type of spine deformity and its severity. In some cases of severe dorsolumbar kyphosis, surgery may be indicated.
