Kris,
Crystal had an 88 degree kyphosis curve. With her fusion (T2-L2) and rods her rib hump is gone, no shoulder blades sticking out or anything. She only had posterior surgery and Dr. Krajbich used cadaver bone for her fusion, so no additional incisions for a bone graft. Dr. Krajbich is just as pleased with the results as we are. Also, she had her three month post op on Saturday. She can lift up to 25 pounds now. She is pretty thrilled with that. Her sisters are to as she can now help do some chores. Are you still using Shriners. I am so glad we did.
'til later,
Nikki
