Yesterday, I saw Iona and her husband back for follow-up.
A year ago, Iona was a very, very crooked, suffering woman.
Her preop photographs shows her shifted way over to the side, and humped over.
I performed a T3-Iliac wing reconstruction, with multi-level laminectomies, and L5S1 TLIF all through a posterior approach.
She left the hospital standing up straight, and has done very well postoperatively.
She and her husband are both so thankful.
Back home, they call her “The Miracle Lady.”
Definite answered prayers for Iona and her family.
