  • follow up x-ray

    Hello.
    My 10 year old daughter just had a 4 month followup x-ray on Dec 2005 with the Thoracic at 5 degree and left lumber at 5 degree after being out of the Boston brace from 8 PM to 8 AM. The x-ray was taken at 8:30AM. The initial x-ray in August 2005 was right thoracic 17 degree and left lumber 30 degree.

    Has anyone experienced this? What does it mean? Are the x-rays in followup very different each time? One orthopedic surgeon told us not to get too optimistic and that likelihood of worsening was high. Another orthopedic surgeon (2nd opinion) told us that the initial X rays might be wrong and suggested a trial off brace for 1 week and then x-rays.

    Thanks.
