thoracoplasty

[Cheryl M]

Has anyone ever had thoracoplasty after having spinal fusion surgery. If so, how long after spinal fusion did you wait and why did you have it?

Thanks

I had my thorocoplasty with my fusion surgery. The only really painful part is having broken ribs and trying to breathe fully. I dont know how long the normal thorocoplasty recovery is because like I said, I had mine combined. Hope you find the info you are looking for.
