My 13 yr old son had surgery on June 29th for a 53degree rt thoracic curve.
Surgery went fine, no probs, actual surgery lasted about 3 hours. He was released to go home on July 4th, HOORAY!! Didn't get a lot of correction as his spine was very stiff, went from 53 to 34 degrees but at least the curve won't continue to get worse. I wanted to thank all those who answered my questions on previous posts. This is a GREAT site for information, very helpful.
