Hi everyone,
I have been trying to do research about thoracoplasty after spinal fusion, and I can't seem to find much on it. I have a severe rib hump deformity that was not corrected much with my fusion last year even though the doctor had expected it would be. If I were to have this done, it wouldn't be for another couple of years from now; however, I think it's a good idea to start seeing people now or some time in the near future. Can anyone out there please give me advice on how to start my search or if you have any input from your own personal experiences with the surgery. If you got any additional correction from it, the recovery process, etc. I have severe shoulder pain and shoulder blade pain where the hump is still. I wish this would go away.
Thanks so much
