Objectives
1. To determine the rate of curve progression after brace weaning 2. To assess how the stages of PHOS relate to other skeletal maturity indices including Sanders staging, distal radius and ulna classification and the Risser staging. 3. To investigate whether the timing of brace weaning can be determined by PHOS
