Hi.. I am 25. I had surgery either in 90, 91, 92. I have heard so many dates. My mom doesn't remember much about the surgery. If my dad says something she'll say how does he know he wasn't there. All I know is I'm in major pain and have been to doctor after docter with no results. I had it done at the Shriners Hospital in Greenville, SC. To get me started can anyone look at the picture and tell me what kind of rods I have. This is not my X-Ray but it is the same type of rod.

Hi Amanda...
You've got a relatively unusual implant system. I know I've seen it before, but I'm not sure that I know what it is. It may be called a unit system. You can call or write to Shriners and ask them for a copy of your records. You may have to pay for the records.

Hi Amanda...
I don't have a clue what the records would cost, if at all. Here's the hospital contact information:
Greenville Shriners Hospital
950 West Faris Road
Greenville, SC 29605-4277
Telephone 864-271-3444
Fax 864-271-4471
When you call, tell them you want copies of all of your surgical records.

I'm doing a search on the unit system now. My grandma called my sponsor today and said he would contact Greenville and see what he can find out. Do you know about what it cost to get records and how do I go about it? Thanks again.
