DD, 10 yo.. went from 15 to 22 degree change in 7 months and dr. wanted a 4 month checkup to monitor change for bracing intervention. She held steady, so no bracing now... but her femur length has changed over time from 1 to 1.8 cm. She broke her femur when 3 yos, so bone increased in length to compensate for growth. At 2 cm difference dr. recommends a surgical clamp (2 metal plates on sides of knee growth plate to clamp it in place to reduce growth) and then when other femur catches up they remove the plates. ANO have this procedure? Seems very minimal to help with pain/scoliosis in later years. Very glad no back bracing at this time. DD is pursing aerial cirque classes next week. She's very flexible and can't wait to try it.
