My 13 year old son was recently diagnosed with severe scoliolsis. He had a fusion when he was 2 years old for a congenital kyphosis. At 6 years old he was given a clean bill of health. However, at 13 he was diagnosed with a 43T 40L curvature. We have seen Dr. Gabos at Dupont, Dr. Dormans at CHOP and Dr Betz at Shriners (with surgery being done by Samdani or Cahill).
Casey wears a Boston Brace at night, but all doctors are skeptical about holding the curve which has increased to 48T 48L in three months. So we are considering surgery in the next couple of months. We would love some recommendations on any of the above doctors.
Thanks so much!
