Postoperative Bracing for Spinal Deformity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Utility of Postoperative Bracing: A Single-institution, Randomized-control Trial Comparing Brace to No-brace for Patients Undergoing Long-segment Fusion for Spinal Deformity
The study is being done to assess if the use of bracing helps improve quality of life of patients that are undergoing a spinal fusion for deformity. If the participant agrees to be in this trial they will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to receive either brace treatment or non-brace treatment. Regardless of what treatment group the participants are in, they will undergo surgery as planned. After surgery, patients in both groups will be treated per standard of care.
