Celebrated a special milestone as one of our complex spine patients marks her birthday during recovery. She is now recovering after two weeks of halo traction followed by spinal fusion and continuing her postoperative course with close multidisciplinary support.

We’re proud of her progress and wishing her a very happy birthday as she continues healing!

Madison was diagnosed with scoliosis in 2020, and despite bracing, physical therapy, and continued care, her curve and pain continued to progress—impacting school, swimming, and daily life. At 13, she underwent tethering surgery, supported by a dedicated medical team that helped turn fear into confidence and recovery.

Today, Madison is back in the pool and back at school, reflecting the progress made through her treatment and support system.

Emily underwent a selective thoracic fusion, a surgical approach that corrects the primary thoracic curve while allowing the lumbar curve to correct over time naturally. Preserving lumbar motion is key to maintaining flexibility, and outcomes like this help explain why she’s able to move comfortably and continue her dance without limitations.

Congenital hip dislocation and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occur when the hip joint is not properly seated in the socket, limiting stability and normal development. Treatment often involves a combination of closed reduction, casting, bracing, and in select cases, pelvic or femoral osteotomy to improve joint coverage and long-term hip health.

With early identification and appropriate management, many children go on to achieve excellent alignment and age-appropriate mobility.

Listen in as Alyssa, one of our PAs, describes some of the findings and treatment options.

Danielle, a high school color guard student, was treated for scoliosis after her curve progressed and began affecting her daily life. Surgical correction helped restore proper alignment and stability, and she’s now doing well in her recovery—getting back to the activities that matter most to her.

Her progress reflects the resilience we see in so many young patients, and it’s rewarding to support that forward momentum.

Isabella was born with hip dysplasia and femur anteversion, and despite early bracing, the issues weren’t fully corrected. As she grew, the pain escalated—disrupting sleep, limiting movement, and beginning to shape her daily life. After years of ongoing symptoms, she and her family made the difficult decision to pursue surgery.

She underwent a Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) and femoral derotation surgery to address the areas contributing most to her pain and instability, helping restore alignment and relieve the mechanical stress driving her symptoms. Today, she’s living with almost no pain and returning to the activities that matter most to her.

Her strength throughout this journey reflects the resilience we see in so many young patients—and it’s a privilege to support that progress.

Amazing time at the 2nd Annual The Little Legs Big Heart Foundation (LLBH) Skeletal Dysplasia Conference last weekend—a community built to support kids and families living with skeletal dysplasia through education, advocacy, and shared experience.

Loved connecting with families and having great discussions with fellow surgeons and providers from around the country who care deeply about this community.

Huge thanks to Kristen for putting together such an amazing event!
