Hi. My 13 yo son has surgery Monady and we have to decide whether he gets fused to sacrum or to L3. His L4 L5 can't support screws so we must decide to go above or below main area of curve. He has cong scoliosis with a 85 degree curve in the lumbar area. He plays high level soccer and other sports and wants to continue. Can anyone tell me how much mobility/flexibilty he'll lose if he gets fused to S1 from T10? Or should he get the smaller surgery just to L3 and probably have to get another surgery in the future?
Thanks
PS he had surgery when he was 2 and it was corrected to about 35 degrees from 70. But it's progressed to 85 now.
