I got 14 hugs in clinic this past Friday, and several handshakes from the guys from many of our postoperative patients, including patients from Florida, South Carolina and Virginia.  I also saw one of my 6 year-old patients, who had a significant progression of her curve into the 30’s.  We will be getting her fitted with a brace.

I also saw our Nancy our first “Quad Rod” patient back for follow-up doing great at her happy 1 year follow-up.  We are continuing to pursuing our biomechanical research on the “Quad Rod” and other constructs with new computer models and new “test rigs” working with NC State’s Department of Engineering.  Nancy is a walking success story of this applied technology to solve very difficult spinal deformity cases.

Today in clinic I saw a lady from Los Angeles with severe scoliosis, here with her husband.
Tomorrow we will be fixing her scoliosis here in Raleigh, NC.
