In particular, it is unclear whether pattern-specific, CAD-CAM\u2013designed brace systems provide comparable effectiveness across different curvature types. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of curve pattern and initial curve magnitude on treatment outcomes in AIS patients treated with a pattern-specific CAD-CAM\u2013designed brace.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective analysis was conducted on female AIS patients aged 10\u201314 years (Risser 0\u20132) treated between 2015 and 2024.
