What was your final curvature post operation? My daughter has scoliosis that was caused by a syrinx (cyst) in her spinal cord. They inserted a shunt into her spinal cord to allow it to drain where it will remain there forever. Now that the neurosurgeon fixed the underlying issue, it is now turned back over to the orthopedic surgeon to figure out when the best time to perform the spinal fusion. We take her back to see him in a couple weeks. She currently has a 52 degree curve so I was curious as to how straight they will be able to get her. Thanks.
