Описание к видео Teen recovers from scoliosis surgery- Meghan Mays - Dayton Children's Hospital

Meghan Mays, 17, from Centerville was diagnosed with scoliosis at age six and began seeing Mike Albert, MD, orthopaedic surgeon at Dayton Children's. After nine years of wearing different back braces to try to fix the problem it was decided that Meghan would need surgery. Her back had gone from a 20 degree curve to 54 degrees. Dr. Albert performed spinal surgery on Meghan in December 2011 and placed two rods and 16 screws in her back to straighten her spine. Today Meghan is standing a little taller and is extremely active in cross country and working at multiple part-time jobs. Meghan wants to be a nurse when she grows up because of the amazing care the nurses at Dayton Children's gave her while she was here.
