Hi, I am relatively new to this forum and I have some questions about vertebral stapling. My 9 year old has scoliosis. A single c curve at 26 degrees. I was full on going with the spine cor brace and will keep my appointment with the orthopedist for this Monday. But, I can't stop thinking about the vertebral stapling procedure. Anyone reading this have some long term success? Or a non success story? Any thoughts, opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I contacted Shriners @Philly and spoke with someone there. I am waiting to hear back from Janet Cerrone at Shriners. I love the idea of doing the procedure and not having to put my daughter through the difficulties the 6 or 7 years in a brace will bring her. However, it does seem like a significant surgery and recovery. Any insight?? Thanks!!
