Hi,
My son will be turning 14 on October 5. He was a 50/40 degree curve simiular to a s shape. The opthropedic doctor has recommened he have surgery, but he is in a tlso brace now to stop or slow the curve down. He really hates the brace, but he wears it anyway. He has to go back to the orthopedic doctor in November to see if the brace is working. I pray that the curve hasn't got any worse. I just want to know if anybody out there no of any pediatric orthopedic surgeron in South Carolina. We live in Anderson, SC and I know its a Shriner Hospital in Greenville, SC do anybody of any good doctors there? I want to research for the best doctors that have lots expericence in doing this surgery if when we go to the doctors in November the opthopedic doctor says he must have the surgery, because the brace isn't working.
I really don't know much about this doctor and I don't think he has the experience to do this type of surgery on my son. Anderson is a small town and I think we need to go where there are more experience doctors to choose from. If anybody know of any please let me know. Thanks a concern & worried mother.
