Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi , I'm not sure how old your child is, but Max (12 months at the time) was out of his brace last summer for 3 weeks before he was casted because we had transitioned from UW Madison Children's Hospital to Shriner's Chicago with Dr. Sturm. At the time, the cast was too small for Max and instead of making him a new one for 3 weeks until he was casted, he was without a brace. His curve did not worsen in this time, it stayed the same. He adjusted great from a brace, nothing for 3 weeks, and then a cast. Honestly, I do not think Dr. Sturm would make any recommendation that would cause any harm or long term effects to any child. I look forward to meeting you in a few weeks!
