Our 11 yo scoliosis patient straightened up nicely with less invasive, shorter fusion.  She had good preop bending X-Rays showing her upper curve bends out nicely, as well as lowest part of her lumbar curve.

Surgical time:  2 hours 15 minutes.
EBL:  300
Correction:  very nice.

Out to talk to family.  They should be quite happy!
