  • X-rays of Surgery!

    I thought I would just post this up as a seperate thread for reference to newbies on the forum who would like a look.
    If anyone else wants to add their x-rays - might be an okay spot to collect them all and the details for others who want to compare, don't know if that has been done before. Would be good to have this and place a "sticky" on it so it appears at the top of sections??

    Age: 12.11 years old - female
    Curve Prior: 50 Thoracic - Risser 0
    Curve now: Haven't had post op appointment but looking good!
    Fused: T5 - L1
    Thoracoplasty: 5 ribs removed to remove rib hump
    Date: 12th Feb 2008

    Cheers

    Pssst.

    Del, I hate to break the news to you, but it appears Elysia has a house in her tummy!

    What is that in the background? LOL!
    Fusion is NOT the end of the world.

      Ladies and Gentleman, can I have your attention! We have a comedian in the house!

      Yes, it's a house, we live in a 2 storey house and look down on the neighbours out front - so that's there roof your looking at!

      The number of times we've held pre-surgery and post-surgery x-rays up to that window, I think the neighbours are suspicious we're running a Doctors practice on the premises. Come to think of it I do get heaps of wrong numbers for the Barwell Medical Centre!
