My scolioisis surgery in 1994 cost around $60,000..I stayed one week in the hospital and had a Harrington rod insertation with bone grafting...I am sure it is much more money now in the year 2008..Lucky for me the State of California paid for my surgery and I was covered by Medi-Cal because I started seeing the doctor after I noticed progression of my curve before I turned 18 years old.
Scoliosis brace prices vary greatly, depending on the brand and complexity. Usually they are upwards of $400 USD, all the way up to $5,000.
Simpler braces, like ones that go around your hips and do not extend too far up your back, are less expensive. Braces that are more complex, such as the kind that extend up to your shoulders will begin to burn a bigger hole in one's pocket!
Generally your brace is covered under your insurance or NHS
cost of scoliosis surgery is 65000$ to 75000$
250k
After scoliosis surgery, it depends where they fused/placed the rods/screws...I had scoliosis surgery and I can crack the TOP half of my spine, but, the screws are at the bottom of my back and I am unable to crack it there. :)
