Resumen (ES)
As to the ethiopathogeny of Scheüermann's disease there is no consensus about the
true cause of vertebral body wedging. It seems clear that the deformity of vertebral bodies is a
consecuence of osteochondral weakness in a growth period in which mechanic factors are involved.
This provides fundamentals of conservative treatment analvzing the results obtained with the
Milwaukee and New York braces. The results demostrate a clear adventage of Milwaukee brace for
upper kiphosis. On the other hand, low profile braces work well on curves with apex below T7,
although less wedge angle correction is obtained.
