Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 My Daughter is 3 months old and was diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia at birth and most recently with scoliosis ( 30 degree curve and rotation). The doctors I am working with are planning on treating them at the same time with a full body cast (only one free arm and one free leg) spica/risser combo. The thing is they have never done this before and I am worried about my daughter's ability to grow and breathe normally since they are only planning on changing it every 6 weeks. Shriners hospital is the only story I can find about a doctor treating hip dys. and scoliosis at the same time. I was hoping someone would have some information on Shriners hospital or risser vs. mehta casting or really anything at all because my husband and I are really struggling to decide what is best for our daughter.
