Fusion T5-T12

[Kari]

Has anyone has a similar fusion (T5-T12)? Just wondering what I can expect for future mobility limitations as well as limitations to specific sports.

My fusion was T-5 to T-11. When it came to sports, I wrestled all through junior and senior high schools post-op. I lost some flexibility with the fusion and rods, but I was able to deal with it.

Kari,
My daughter had the same fusion and about the same curve. Had surgery last April and was able to resume soccer in November. She's been on break since Thanksgiving but her team will begin practice again next week. She played a couple of games in November and did pretty well considering she had been out for 6 months. Let us know if you have more questions.

My son had this surgery in July 2006. He's returned to Varsity tennis and plays regularly.
