[quote=Anonymous]My DD has very mild Cerebral Palsy, which mostly shows up as toe walking and a difference in the length of her legs. It is to the point that Childrens is now recommending that we do something to even out the length of her legs. She is in a growth spurt and they screw the growth plate of one leg closed so that leg doesn't grow, allowing the other leg to catch up. It is apparently minimally invasive (can go back to school same day). Even though it seems low risk and ultimately a good idea (issues with misaligned hips, spine, etc cause longer term issues), I am a little nervous and would like to hear from other folks out there who have had the surgery and what your experience has been. thanks.[/quote]
