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.
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. :)
