Hello!
I am glad to have found a place like this.
My DD is just 12, and at her annual check up the ped noticed a hump during her scoliosis screening. She referred us for an x ray, and then called and told us to make an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon (he specializes in pediatrics. He set a broken wrist for DD many years ago).
I received a copy of the radiologist report and x rays on disk. It says:
"INDICATION: iliopsoas
FINDINGS: There is S shaped thoracolumbar scoliosis. The superior apex is right-sided at the level of T8, measured at 21 degrees. The inferior apex is left-sided at the level of L2-L3, measured at 22 degrees. Neither curve complete corrects with lateral bending. No segmentation or other congenital abnormalities are identified."
DD12 has not gone through puberty yet. Am wondering as I approach this first meeting anything I should be prepared for? I've spent the weekend researching online. Do you think such degrees will require bracing or monitoring?
