We are in the waiting and watching stage for my daugher. The orthopedic surgeon said wait 6 months before another x-ray. I understand the concern over too much radiation. However, 6 months seems like a long time considering her age and stage of maturity. My DD is 12.5 years old. She has not started menstruation and family history indicates it could still be a few years off. Her Risser Sign appears to be 0, Tanner Stage 2. Should I be asking for an x-ray at 4 months? Earlier? How often do people normally
get x-rays at this stage?
get x-rays at this stage?
