  • VEPTR in Reader's Digest

    Has anyone seen the article in the March issue of Reader's Digest? It deals with a little girl who has a VEPTR device.

    I saw it. The little girl is such a doll! It was a good, but short article. Any attention brought to scoliosis and advances in treatment is a good thing though

      Thanks for mentioning that. I will have to look for it. Does it say where the surgery was performed? Just curious, as I always like to stay current on these things.
