Can anyone explain: in-cast X-rays . . .

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

So: My son's first standing X-ray on Nov. 30th showed 60 degree thoracic curve.

He got into his first cast on Monday, and his first in-cast X-ray showed 21

degree. (Which seemed like a big " yay! " to me. Flexible...?)

The in-cast X-ray was done with Teddy still under sedation, so I'm figuring it

was basically supine.

Can anyone please tell me if an in-cast STANDING curve would be similar to an

in-cast SUPINE?

(In other words, if they'd waited for him to wake up, and then done the X-ray,

would we have seen less of a correction?)

The cast is very tight, I think.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
