Re: osteotomy before and after

Hi,
I read your post and had a few questions about forearm osteotomy and Dr. Davino. Our daughter's arm supinates and last year we went to Houston and saw Dr. Nath and he recommended a forearm osteotomy with Dr. Davino. Even though Nath answered our questions, we never did meet Dr. Davino on that visit and it was a very scary decision to make. We have been trying through different straps, taping and therapy to see if she can "turn" her forearm but it just isn't working. I think that she will need this surgery but we are very apprehensive. I would love to hear your opinion on Dr. Davino and hear some advice when you have the time. Our daughter is 4 years old with a RBPI , C5-C7 were stretched with neuromas and C8 and T1 were avulsed with horner's.
Thanks
Michele
