When It Hit Home.....
As previously posted on May 18, 2011 on original blog
A little while ago, Aiden starting complaining about how his 13th Mehta cast was hurting him. Through his crying and whimpering, the triage on the open wounds caused by the rubbing of his skin against the cast, and the obvious size constraint, Amber and I didn't know what to do at this point. We called Dr. Peter Sturm at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) and his nurses agreed to get us in right away. In the past, we would wait to get into CCHMC and only see the nurses. However, this time, Aiden was able to see the nurses, radiology technicians, surgery technicians, AND the doctor. They all agreed the cast was too tight and hurting Aiden, but made the choice to keep it on until his June appointment (his regular visit where he will have the cast taken off and degree curve measured). They broke the cast around the belly hole and re-petaled the rough edges so they didn't hurt him as much. Through all of this, Aiden showed remarkable strength. It was not until that night that our last 4 1/2 years really hit home for me.
Aiden and I were sitting on the couch and I was looking at his cast. I kept on saying how good it looked and repeatedly asked how it felt to him. Aiden began to tear up and looked down at the floor. I asked him what was wrong. For the first time in his entire treatment, he looked at me with tears in his eyes and "Daddy, I don't ever want to have a cast again!". We talked about how he has had many casts but he told me how he was sick of getting them and didn't want anymore. Amber and I are very frank with our children, so I told him that what would happen if he didn't get the casts. After a brief pause, he said, "It's ok daddy, we will be ok without a cast."
I couldn't help but grab him and hold him. Even knowing the negative consequences, he had finally hit the wall with his treatment. Aiden never complained one bit, but now, he was willing to take a serious gamble with his health in order to gain relief. It was difficult and eye opening, but long overdue. With everything he has had to endure, Aiden always showed strength. Now, he looked to his parents for comfort and relief. We explained how it wouldn't be long before he got it off and he seemed to find solace in our approach for the time being.
Amber and I know there are parents out there who endure daily struggles with their children. There are some of these parents who endure much more than we could imagine. Some of them are sources of strength for us to deal with Aiden's treatment. For all of you that have to deal with adversity, we thank you for your strength and courage!!! We wish you the best of luck in all future treatment. Just remember, there will be a time when every aspect of your child's condition will hit home, and when it does, embrace it. Be honest, be strong, and be diligent! Your child will always be your child, so cherish every moment, even when it is difficult!

Another New DNA Genetic Test That Benefits Scoliosis Patients.
As previously posted on April 27, 2011 on original blog
What if you could test DNA from a saliva sample of a scoliosis patient and determine, with clear cut fact, the best course of treatment for him/her? The day has come for this dream to become a reality!
Ten years in the making, ScoliScore is a newer DNA genetic test that does just what it is supposed to do. By testing DNA in the saliva of any scoliosis patient, it can determine, through high or low scores, the probability that the current degree curvature will become better or worse over time. This information is vital to treating scoliosis patients because it accurately assesses the need for x-rays, braces, casting, and/or surgery.
By limiting x-rays, the patient is subjected to less radiation and health concerns from the procedures. The doctors using this test take the guesswork out of the treatment plans given to scoliosis patients and base them on clear cut facts. The genetic testing used is complicated and involved, yet becoming more and more widespread due to its significance in scoliosis treatment.
Dr. Mark Locke, Director of Pediatric Orthopedics at Moore Orthopedic Clinic, loves the new test. He discussed the impact of the test on diagnosing treatment options for scoliosis patients. He gives an example of how a scoliosis patient with a 15 degree curve who has a high test score will eventually have that curve increase exponentially. Conversely, if the test had come back with a lower score, the curvature would remain the same. In general, a high test score indicates the curve will increase in degree measurement where a low score indicates the curvature will remain low.
The ScoliScore DNA genetic test is another example of how advancements in medicine can benefit scoliosis patients and their treatment options. This line of medicine needs more advancements similar to this DNA test in order to gain ground on this debilitating condition.

Dr. Peter Sturm Joins CCHMC
Dr. Peter Sturm, recently named The Alvin H. Crawford Chair of Spine Surgery and Co-Director, Crawford Spine Center, came to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) after leading the Shriner's Hospital in Chicago, IL. He brings with him decades of service to orthopedics and specifically, scoliosis. He was trained under the infamous Dr. Min H. Mehta (the Mehta cast is named after her) on specialized casting for infantile scoliosis. Dr. Sturm brings a wealth of knowledge to the Orthopedic Department already known for its advances in medicine. Dr. Sturm is an advocate for casting as an alternative to spinal fusion surgery which can hamper spinal development in children. His work in this area will continue as he is the lead investigator on a multi-center study regarding this issue.
HemiBridge Spinal Clip
The HemiBridge Spine Clip, a 2 inch square device, is a breakthrough in scoliosis treatment created by Dr. Eric Wall. A medical device 17 years in the making, the HemiBridge Spine Clip is a plastic square that promotes straighter growth by using the power of the spine in correcting a curvature. This device controls the growth in each vertebrae and acts as a counter device for scoliosis. The HemiBridge Spine Clip was just granted FDA approval for Phase I clinical trial. “It’s the only current FDA-approved study of a class 3 pediatric orthopedic device of any sort,” Wall says. “We’ve now got approval to start using it in humans.”
CCHMC continues to make advances in the field of scoliosis research. These doctors, along with the other fantastic doctors and support staff at CCHMC, make scoliosis treatment more bearable and practical. Please visit www.thescoliosisfoundation.org for more information regarding scoliosis and ways to help out the cause of finding a cure.

Mild Idiopathic Scoliosis Impairs Postural Stability in Female Patients
As previously posted on March 12, 2011 on original blog
In the recent news article summarizing the results of a study on posture and balance in female scoliosis patients, the conclusion seemed to be indicative of a "no-brainer". As one might believe, posture and balance are affected when a curvature of the spine is present. This curvature, or abnormality in spinal growth, creates an imbalance in how children or adolescents can stand, sit, and balance themselves. As one might believe, the spine acts as a center of gravity (COG) that allows the body to balance itself with relation to the other parts of the body. If this COG is affected, then balance of the body is changed for the patient. As you can imagine, especially with children who are in the process of developing complete motor skills anyway, this can be detrimental to the physical and mental development of the child.
The study focused on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with only a mild curvature of the spine (mean curve at 15 degrees). In the tests that followed, children showed signs of instability when facing basic posture and balance tests (with eyes open and closed). The study concluded that more information is needed in order to determine how the variable curve in scoliosis patients affects balance and postural stability in the long term. There have been similar studies relevant to this particular one, but they never seem to gather much data that is new or influential. Most of the conclusions in similar studies, along with this one, seem to be common sense in nature. There is hope that a more in depth and conclusive study can determine the long standing effects of scoliosis on balance and posture for male and female patients, including submissions for correction of this imbalance. The abstract (I cannot provide my signon for the full article according to the website - which is ridiculous) can be found at :
