Surgery

Over the week, we evaluate 50-60 children with spinal deformities and provide surgery to 10-15 of these children. Our entire team evaluates all the children together and participates in the operating room - each team member providing important insight into the care of the child.

Common diagnoses include:

• Cervical instability
• Chiari malformations
• Diastematomyelia
• Hyperkyphosis
• Rare syndromes
• Scoliosis (all types in all pediatric age groups)
• Spina bifida
