Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
