Listen, folks, we’ve got something incredible here. We’re talking about kids, young, amazing kids with these, you know, thoracolumbar fractures. Not common, but when they happen, they’re a big deal, a huge deal. And we’ve got the best, the absolute best approach for them – it’s called minimally invasive surgery. It’s new, it’s innovative, and nobody, I mean nobody, has reported this in young children before. It’s fantastic.

We did this thing, a big review, from 2018 to 2023, looking at all the kids under 18 who got this special surgery for their serious spine injuries. We’re not talking about a couple of kids; we’re talking about twelve. They’re from 4 to 17 years old, a great range, the best range. And the types of fractures – we’ve seen them all, from Chance fractures, which were half of them, to burst fractures. More in the lumbar spine, but some in the thoracic too.

And here’s the kicker: we used this incredible technology, neuro-navigation, robot-assisted stuff – it’s like science fiction, but it’s real, and it’s here. We put in these screws, percutaneously, with barely any blood loss. I’m telling you, less than 30 milliliters. That’s like a shot glass, folks, for these single-level fractures and fusion. It’s nothing.

Now, sure, a couple of kids had some issues with the hardware, but that’s just two out of twelve. And the follow-up, it’s been almost 10 months, and the results are beautiful. The X-rays look great, the kids are doing great. It’s a success, a huge success.

So, what we’re saying here is this: minimally invasive surgery for these kids is safe, it’s effective, and it’s the future. We’re leading the way, and the outcomes, they’re just tremendous. You’re going to love it.
