Worked for me. They are amazing. I see a couple of screws there which "appear" to be floating. I've never seen that before. What are your curve degrees now?Surgery March 3, 2009 at almost 58, now 63.

The screws are put in from the front, to hold whatever was inserted there (probably femoral rings), in place.Never argue with an idiot. They always drag you down to their level, and then they beat you with experience. --Twain

I thought the same thing about what appears to be floating screws I asked my surgeon and he just said everything is normal so I am assuming they are supposed to be there.I had anterior surgery too so I think those screws are screwed to something.I will go see my surgeon in May and I will asked questions like what my degrees is now.I live in Bakersfield,Ca and my surgeon is in Beverly Hills,Ca which is a 3 1/2 hr.drive.Aug.17,09 Anterior

Your surgeon will almost certainly do before and after xrays. Ask them surgeon or his office assistant, for copies.
