Surgery

Over the week, we evaluate 20-30 children with spinal deformities and provide surgery to 5-10 of these children. Our entire team evaluates all the children together and participates in the operating room - each team member providing important insight into the care of the child.

Common diagnoses include:

  • Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
  • Early onset scoliosis
  • Syndromic scoliosis
  • Hyperkyphosis
  • Rare syndromes
