Does anyone out there have the hardware called Dwyer Instrumentation?
I've yet to hear of anyone else who has it, but I know you're out there!! It's very "old stuff". Now, I hear that it was way outdated back when I had it. Oh, how we love to hear things like that!!!!
It's basically these huge screws that go through the vertebrae with a cable that connects to the end of 'em, which they tighten during the surgery, to literally correct the curvature.
And it's an anterior procedure, where they go in from the front.
Fortunately, scars have never bothered me. It's a good thing!!
