Hi. I am not sure anyone here can know what is going on. Can you post the x-rays?
The testimonial is hard to figure. If you got an 80% correction in the OR then the curve was at 10* post op. Is there an x-ray showing that 10* instrumented curve? And now 3 weeks later that same section of the curve is at 24*? It sounds like the surgeon estimated the correction percentage incorrectly unless multiple screws pulled out or something. I have no idea. The instrumented portions of my daughters' curves didn't change as far as I could tell from the x-ray 4 days post-op to any subsequent point. The lower uninstrumented curve bounced around a bit on the one kid but then stabilized.
Maybe Linda has a comment.
