At the outset of this article, the author clearly states his objective, that is, to achieve excellent alignment and balance in the coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes. He emphasizes throughout the lecture that focusing on balance is more important than treating the curve itself. Overall spine balance is the goal, and this is to be achieved through a balance in all three planes – coronal, sagittal, and transverse. He has tried using plaster molds, but has found the CAD modification system to be more effective. The goal is to achieve proper balance and reduce the curve as much as possible in the least amount of time. Therefore, toleration of the CAD brace is a significant factor to consider. The author discusses treating the curve in the sagittal plane through elongation, in the coronal plane through lateral body movements, and in the transverse plane through derotation. He states that understanding flexibility of the deformity is important. Finally, he implores those treating patients to strive for close measurement, to treat balance, and to reduce the curve of the spine as much as possible. He concludes by stating that the overall objective is a more stable spine for the rest of the patient’s life.
