Dear list,
I have a 14 yo boy, Risser2, with a thoracic scoliosis measuring 36 degrees,
apex T9. He is 6' and weighs 250 lbs. Using a Providence is not being
considered although it would be my preference. A boston has been ordered for
full time use.
Has anyone used a Milwaukee with a kid like this? He is going to spill out
of the proximal end of the Boston...think Mae West. He is quite large and
I'm not sure what effect the TLSO will actually have.
Am open to any suggestions regarding this kid. Thank you. Molly Pitcher
