Fig. 6. — Left: 27° single thoracic curve with an ATR (angle of trunk rotation) of 10° at the start of treatment at the age of 13.0 years. Middle: Result 5 months without brace at the age of 15.0 years and with 20° Cobb and ATR 3°. Right: Final result >2 years without brace 22° Cobb and ATR 4°. Rib hump has been reduced significantly after treatment with the GBW. The initial ATR was 10°, the final value was 4°. Trunk symmetry is also improved when focusing on the initial pelvic prominence after treatment being rebalanced. Both clinical parameters seem relatively stable more than two years after brace weaning as is the Cobb angle improvement.
