Are you familiar with fusion-less options? I had no idea that patients had more than one fusion surgery. Imagined fusing once would stop growth. Sounds horrible to have to endure such a long road of surgery, healing, and pain.
My daughter has idiopathic juvenile scoliosis and we have decided to avoid fusion and will be doing spinal tethering in lieu.
