My daughter who is 13 years old has congenital scoliosis. Now her scoliosis due to hemi vertebrae is progressing and she is having a 45 degree curve on her lumber spine area and the doctor in boston children's is planning to do surgery this summer. I did get a second opinion and the other doctor is saying that removing the hemiverbrae is better and it will give a 100% correction instead of keeping the hemiverbrae. At the same time there is risk of paralysis and i am very scared. Please share your experiences. I am also palnning to go the shriners Philly to doctor beth for 3rd opnion. Is doctor beth reliable?
Also anyone as same as my daughters age had excision of hemi vertebrae? please share your experience. Is it safe to do it?
