So as this week's coming to a close, I will not be here next week and posting as I am going to Hawaii! I'm very excited.
Now looking at my data, I thought I had a set number but apparently I was wrong. It's very late in the project, so I cannot try and change anything about it, but there are some things I realized:
For scoliosis, there two surgeries, the spinal fusion for kids that are fully grown, and the MAGEC rod system for kids that are still growing. If I shaped my question to "scoliosis surgeries" I would have 13 data points rather than the 9 I have now, and they would include more complications and a better way of analysis.
I'm trying to find a way to get more data if I can, but the project is so near over it seems very difficult.
I made a post early about the MAGEC rods so you can go check it out.
I hope everyone has a great week!
Hi Kayla,
ReplyDeleteCan the MAGEC rod system correct the spinal curvature of a developing child and then get removed? Or are the rods permanently installed?
