Hi All

I have Harrington Rod Induced Flatback, Which affects my Thoracic spine as well

as my Lumbar spine (fused T-3-L3). I live in the UK and the surgeon I have seen

has said that he is prepared to restore the natural lordosis in my lumbar but

would not correct my thoracic curve, as he says this is too dangerous. When

people have had salvage surgery in the US, has anyone had there thoracic spine

corrected. My surgeon mentioned doing 'closing wedge osteomies' of the lumbar

spine and fusion to the sacrum.

I would really appreciate your advise

Luv Bev x
