Yes. Rubber bracelets in our area are woren

Good luck !!!

Take care.

<t>We, too, are trying to determine if we should have this surgery for our child. We have had the 3D Cat Scan done. Anyone..please let us know your results and how long ago your child had the surgery. Do you lose any range, movements ? We had the mod quad done several years back. Dr. Nath is awesome...
