    Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows of a good website with information regarding the growth rod surgery for scoliosis. All I seem to find is info on full fusions (I already know about that). Any help would be great.
    Thanks, Emily

      Hi Emily,

      You can go to http://www.veptr.com

      This is a good site for the newly FDA approved device. I don't know of any specific sites for the traditional growing rod procedure.
