Wow, great info Mark! My mom has the same fusion for scoliosis. I wonder if they considered this when they did her bone-density testing, though she wasn't considering surgery. If I may ask, what was the reasoning for taking out the Harrington rods? They offered this to Mom, but she couldn't see the benefit. Just curious. Have a great trip!
