My 6-year old daughter was just diagnosed. She is 38% lower curve and 44% upper. We will see the orthopedic surgeon on Monday. Her pediatrician thought that she might be braced for awhile but that surgery is very likely. I've been unable to find much on kids this age. She has no other health problems. Can anyone tell me what I can expect -- what is the brace like? What is the surgery recovery time? How much school will she miss? Is there a lot of pain after surgery? Is the outcome favorable?
We live in St. Paul, MN and will be seeing the pediatric orthopedists at Gillette.
Thanks for any advice.
