Nancy, from Florida, has travelled around the world several timessince her scoliosis was fixed in her 70's.
Her titanium rods broke down near bottom and became painful, limiting travel.
We used latest spinal implants we tested ourselves in biomechanical testing, and used BMP as well.
She plans to start her next world cruise in January 2010 w her husband.
Her surgery today went great.
Surgical time 3.5 hrs.
EBL: 1,450
Blood transfused: none.

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?
