RE: time frame between cast and brace

[Guest guest]

We were out of cast/brace for like 2 weeks. We didn't have any regression. Beth RettingerMother of In Eleventh Cast From SLC From: zwitkin <zwitkin@...> infantile scoliosis treatment Sent: Wednesday, April 4, 2012 10:03 AM Subject: time frame between cast and brace

Hello All

More advice questions-

What are people's experiences for bracing (temporarily for the summer) in terms of wait time. We are concerned for our son being in neither cast nor brace for a period of time. More specifically, we are in Shriners/Phili so if anyone has personal experience there that would be helpful. We are considering bracing in New York vs. Phili.

Thank you in advance

Hi Zehava,

My daughter had a brace last summer.

She was molded for a brace under anesthetic, then re-casted. It took three

weeks for the brace to be made. I don’t know what the scheduling

issue was but there must have been one. When we went back down for the

brace, it was way too small. She might’ve had a growth spurt over

those three weeks? But I find that hard to believe. The brace

technician Matt did a great job. He re-measured her and had a new brace made

in three days. She kinda fought us every time we put her brace back on,

but that said, after her most recent cast #9, she asked for a brace the very

next day. She rarely complains, but it’s almost daily that she asks

for the brace (I think she wants to go swimming). Dr C thinks they can

have it made quicker than three weeks sometime in June. I don’t

have any more definite info than that right now.
