Bracing and X-rays
I'm curious about what others have experienced. My DD goes to Johns Hopkins every six months for an x-ray. She's only out of her brace for the actual x-ray. Would it be more accurate to have an x-ray after 24 hours of being out-of-brace?
I plan on asking the PA we've been seeing before my daughter's next appointment in May but I wanted to see what others do first. (I wish I was more impressed with the PA but she really seems to gloss over a lot of stuff)
Thanks.
Mom to 11 year old DD who was:
diagnosed 5/09: 8*L, 8*T
braced 7/10: 17* L, 25*T, 20*C
x-ray 11/10: 7*L, 17*T, 20*C (x-ray immediately OOB)
most recent x-ray 06/11: 17*L, 24*T, 22* C (x-ray 24 hours OOB)
