  • What is the thing going up the patient's arse?

  • Ouch!! That patient must have been in pain for a long time after this!

  • I had scoliosis surgery, they take titanium rods and place them on both sides of your spine to hold you up right. I developed thoractoplasty from the surgery, and lack of motivation to work out and gain muscle.

  • I had spinal fusion surgery for my scoliosis about a month ago and had a thoracoplasty.. They still take ribs out..

  • my spine surgeon still removes ribs

  • I'm sure they don't remove the ribs to treat scoliosis today.... instead they insert a titanium plate between the vertabrae, and then put a cast on the back...
