                         Hi, I also have scolosis.  I had part of my spine removed  and fours Harrington rods put in.  I was in an auto accident  and one of my rods was koocked lose as well as coming unscrewed.    I had to have surgery to remove the messed up rod,  but did not have to wear a brace.  By the way, my scolosis,was  a result of having neurofibromatosis. I am a 52 year old  female, and had my surgery done at Atlanta's  Henereitta Egleston's  Hospital in 1963, by Dr. Warner Woods.
