Preoperative variables influencing work status at 10 years following CDA included preoperative work status, age and SF-36 MCS; whereas, no significant preoperative factor identified with ACDF. Time to return to work was influenced in both groups by preoperative work status; and in the ACDF group reaching age 65 at 10-year visit, preoperative arm pain and NDI score had significant influences. Conclusion More patients returned to work at 6 weeks after CDA compared to ACDF, although there was no difference by 6 months. After 2 years, a nonsignificant trend toward higher employment rates in the arthroplasty group was evident, but this difference could not be validated due to the very high rate of loss of patients to the follow-up. Level of evidence 2.Study design Randomized controlled trial. Objective To compare the effectiveness of the automated pressure-adjustable orthosis (PO) and conventional orthosis (CO) for treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Summary of background data Orthosis wearing quality may influence its effectiveness for AIS. An automated PO aimed to provide a more optimized and consistent biomechanical environment. Clinical evaluation was conducted to study the effectiveness of this innovative orthosis. Methods Patients with AIS who met the criteria (Age 10-14, Cobb 20°-40°, and Risser sign 0-2) were recruited from 2 clinics and randomly assigned to the PO and CO groups. Compliance sensors were embedded in both groups, while the PO group was set to adjust the interfacial pressure as prescribed automatically. Clinical assessments (radiology and quality of life, QoL) were conducted at the baseline, immediate after orthosis fitting and 1-year follow-up. Orthosis wearing compliance was tracked using thermo and pressure sensors. Results Twenty-four patients were enrolled with one drop-out (PO, n = 11; CO, n = 12).
