Dr. Lenke's comment wasn't based on problems with the instrumentation, it was specifically that there will be additional stress on the unfused vertebrae. Nor did he say that everyone requires additional surgery down the road, he did say my daughter would need it. I'll ask him again at our pre-op appointment if he really believes that, I don't think he says these things lightly, he doesn't strike me as that kind of doctor.
I looked at Sheena's xrays closely again, L5 is tilted slightly and L4 is wedged into it. Melissa or Laurie, is this how your kid's xrays look?
Laurie, thanks for the offer, I will be sure to ask if I have more questions. How is Alex doing? Did he recover from his fall ok? I'm just as nervous as ever about the surgery but I've really come to accept it these last few months.
