Hi everyone. I'm very excitied to finally be able to login and pose the following questions. My position is this. I am 33, have a 74 degree right thoracic curve. I was scheduled for a fusion (T1 or 2 to L1)with Dr. Bridwell in St Louis on June 15th, but my insurance won't cover the BMP. We decided to check one last idea out and met Dr Durrani - who does minimally invasive surgeries. The minimally invasive approach and promised results almost sound too good to be true. And now I am confused. Please advise if you can...
1. Has anyone had minimally invasive surgery to correct a thoracic curve?
2. Has anyone heard of Dr. Atiq Durrani - Cincinnati -- good/bad?
3. Anyone know of any studies with results from minimally invasive corrections?
4. Anybody been fused traditionally by Dr. Bridwell of St Louis? What was the experience like?
Thank you - I look forward to hearing from any of you...
