@ACatanzanoMD Same. Coach Margraff letting me into his 1st recruiting class changed my life. He influenced so many.

Always an honor to be associated with @POSNA_org, @AAOS1 , and @drsukenshah. What a great educational experience at #POSNA2024!
Our @Nemours JAX colleague @JaxScoliosisDoc Kevin Neal did an amazing job of demystifying the coding guidelines and CMS changes. What a great resource for Peds #orthopedics, #IPOS2024 and @POSNA_org as a member of the @AAOS1 coding committee

@JahangirAsgha10 @Davembmd For sure. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery is elective, regardless of curve size.

@JahangirAsgha10 True. We haven’t really done a great job at standardizing the definition of VBT “failure”. Lots of the literature argues in favor of VBT because most patients avoid PSF, while (obviously) 100% of PSF patients are fused. But is that the correct standard?

@JahangirAsgha10 Also, there is a distinct subset of patients whose goal is to preserve motion for a few years, usually for a sport. They don’t consider revisions failures.

Apparently, October 3rd was National Kevin Day. (True, I googled it.) Much love to the ortho OR team for celebrating! @WolfsonChildren @NemoursOrtho @Nemours

@Davembmd @SRS_org @drkimspinemd @seraj25 @atmghn @ABOSortho @AAOS1 @drsukenshah @AliBaajMD @POSNA_org @jbjs @BoneJointJ I think all angles in ortho +/- 5deg, and explain similar to you. I also round to nearest 5deg when documenting and making decisions. 5deg change not necessarily real. 10deg change likely real.

Couldn’t have done it without inspiration from @southNJscoli and @drsukenshah! Shout out to both your teams in the references and discussion. Thanks!
@JaxScoliosisDoc @Nemours @MayoClinic @Mizzou great study! we did a similar study a few years back and i think @drsukenshah did one as well… we should all combine our data!

Proud to share our latest publication in the Spine Deformity journal. We used the same methodology as Sanders, et al. to create predictive tables for girls and boys with progression of AIS to 35°, 40°, 45°, and 50°. @Nemours @MayoClinic @Mizzou
