Esteemed Colleagues,
A patient was recently referred to me with a prescription for a Thoracic hyperextension brace. Diagnosis given was Shermans Epiphysitis. No level was given. No X-rays. No obvious kyphotic deformity. No symptoms other than back pain. 14 y/o male active in multiple sports. MD on vacation until next week. I think he meant Scheuermann's kyphosis. Advice?
Thank you,
