  • Removal of Harrington Rods

    I was contacted by someone who is attempting to join the forum but has not yet been able to post. She had Harrington Rods in the 80's but is not happy with the results today and feels that her curve is getting worse. Please respond if you have had revision surgery that involved the removal of Harrington Rods inorder to achieve better derotation, a reduced rib hump, and reduced degree of curve.
    Thanks!
