- Disproportionate Short Stature

Treatment
No treatment had been instructed. She never had dyspneic epi- sodes during physical exercise or respiratory infections. [fdocuments.in]
Prognosis
The risks and the probably poor longterm prognosis were considered to markedly exceed the possible benefits of a reoperation. [fdocuments.in]
Prevention
To prevent progression a Milwaukee brace was constructed to be used day and night. However, respiratory difficulties and discomfort were intoler- able; after 6 mo, plans were made to straighten and fuse the vertebral column. [fdocuments.in]
