I had my first scoliosis surgery in 1980 in the Bronx... Dr. Hoppenfeld was my doctor, Scoliosis Associates. I had a Harrington Rod that over the years broke, loosened, and eventually caused many problems including flatback syndrome. For years, I was maybe able to walk/stand for about 2 hours a day when I realized and accepted that this was no way to live anymore...
In March 2007, Dr. Lonner, NYC, Scoliosis Associates... removed my broken harrington rod, anterior and posterior surgeries were needed... I have 2 rods now with screws, and anchor on my right hip, and was also given cadaver bones replacing all of the damaged bones that I had with 3 titanium cages surrounding them... I had 2 surgeries in March, 1 surgery was 5 hours and the other was close to 15 hours...
Today I can walk, I'm on the road to recovery thanks to a very special person/surgeon, Dr. Lonner... He gave me my life back... I'm 40 years old now, and I'm looking forward to being me again... I'm driving now, did not start therapy yet, but I am fully fused!!!
Dr. Lonner is the best!!! I've sent so many people to him, and they all feel the same way...
