ts the curve has bee structural, and that untreated it has to progress, He is only 14, and he has quite a lot of growth potential. My view is that you should intrument and fuse the scoliosis in the usual way, and that the plastic surgeons should advise you on the best way to lengthen the scar at the same time. You should keep a close watch on what happens till he has finished growing. Plastic surgeon do not have experience of scoliosis. They do not like lengthening scars until growth hs finished. If you leave it to them, they will watch the curve progress to a much worse sitiation from what you have now Jeremy Fairbank Jeremy Fairbank, Orthopaedic surgeon, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford OX3 7LD, UK, Tel +44 1865 741155, Fax +44 1865 744455 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2023 18:45:51 +0000 From: Paul Allcock To: Thanks alot for the report, It39。s a valuable lesson showing that we should always examine the patient, not just the x ray.
