The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the Milwaukee brace and thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) on head to pelvis sagittal alignment in adolescents with Scheuermann’s kyphosis (SK). A total of 52 adolescents with SK who were under brace treatment were studied. They underwent biplanar radiography of the head to pelvis (EOS Imaging, Paris, France) before and 6 months after the beginning of bracing. We measured T 1  slope, neck tilt (NT), cervical sagittal vertical axis (cSVA), thoracic inlet angle (TIA), C 0 -C 2  lordosis, C 2 -C 7  lordosis, thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and T 1  spinopelvic inclination (T 1 SPi). There were no significant differences in baseline values of TIA, PT, SS, PI, SVA, TK, cSVA, NT and T 1  slope between the two groups ( p  &gt; 0.05). There were significant differences between the baseline and final measurements of T 1  slope, cSVA, TK, LL, T 1 SPi and TIA in both groups ( p  &lt; 0.05). The results imply that brace treatment can significantly affect head to pelvis sagittal parameters of adolescents with SK. However, there are no significant differences in the values of head to pelvis sagittal parameters when comparing short-term effect of TLSO and the Milwaukee brace.
