Hello All -
My daughter has been diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis for 4 years . it started with a 10 degree curve and has now progressed to 35 degrees. I realize that this isn't much - however her pelvis is tilted and she does look deformed from the shoulder and the waist area.
We are from Michigan - and most of the doctors here that we have seen have only said to 'wait and see'.
We went to Dr. Anand in California to get another opinion - and he has agreed that she should have surgery to correct the deformity -
He does the Anterior Approach - and says that she will have L2-L5 fused.
1) Does Anyone have any prior experience with Dr. Anand at the Mt. Sinai Center in Los Angelos, California?
2) what about getting this many of the vetebrates fused - how will her mobility / flexability be?
-Any information would be very much appreciated & helpful
-Thank you & God Bless.
