I got a chance to see Lynn yesterday for her one year follow-up. She is doing just great. She had a multi-level minimally invasive XLIF fusion, complicated by a compression fracture at top of her fusion with a painful progressive kyphosis.
I performed a thoracic pedicle subtraction osteotomy with revision extension instrumentation and fusion. In the included video, she tells how this has dramatically improved her quality of life and posture. You can see the before and after xrays in our picture together yesterday.

Lynn gave her enthusiastic permission to share this photo and short video with all of you.
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?
