Dr. Lloyd Hey's Blog: Scoliosis and Spine Care, Aviation Safety and Quality "Standard Work"

How can we care for scoliosis and kyphosis and spondylolisthesis better with conservative care like physical therapy, high-tech scoliosis braces, exercise and other techniques? What can be done to improve surgical care, and understand choices for surgery, learning from those around the world? How can we learn from aviation and from Deming's principles of "Standard Work" to constantly improve spine and all healthcare?

Junctional kyphosis and stenosis above previous fusion fixed today

Was very unstable at thae thoracolumbar junction when I examined spine during surgery. That hurts!
Surgery went well, w osteotomy, and extension instrumentation and fusion. Should walk and stand much better now.
