Hi Will,

I'm very new to this group, but my 5 year old son began casting when he was

almost 4.

We adopted him from Ukraine at age 3 and he already had very progressive curves.

He is

under the care of an excellent ortho surgeon in Albany, NY. I have to say that

really the

casting has been pretty ineffective. The surgeon basically said that casting

was just to buy

us some time until Jordan is big enough for the growing rod surgery. We're not

liking the

idea of surgery and are researching all our options. We're hoping to meet some

parents

on this site who've been through the growing rod surgery, so we can learn more

about it.

Hope this helps.
