Answer #1

None of us can answer that … you’ll just have to wait and see.

Answer #2

Well, maybe “ Dr Bill “ could offer an informed opinion regarding how much he “ thinks “ she might expect to grow after surgery.

Answer #3

I’d have to disagree with that. Every person is unique and there are so many factors involved in growth rate.

Answer #4

The spinal angular anomalies have been specified ( I presume with the accuracy implied by their values ). That should be adequate to give an informed estimate of increased stature in inches within a tolerance of +/- an inch or thereabouts assuming that corrective surgery is successful. Add to that a further inch for the normal growth of a 14 year old girl prior to achieving full adult stature, and you have a reasonable estimate. I know how much I think she might grow, but I am reluctant to express that opinion, as I am not sufficiently well informed regarding scoliosis surgery for that opinion to deserve consideration as “ helpful “.

Answer #5

Only time can tell and hope for the best x

Answer #6

My daughter grows a couple incehs when I tell her to stand up straight. :) Good luck with your surgery!
