Does anyone have experience with a bi-planar curve (curves in 2 directions) and plication? If so, what was the length lost and what was the degree of curve of each? Mine is 45 left and 40-43 downward. My Dr has suggested plication and I wanted some advice from those who have been through it. Any info would be greatly appreciated 🙂.

You will be straight if you will choose the very good surgeon. It would not be a problem for any top doctor.

Choose your surgeon wisely and you will be very happy.

Plication always results in loss of length.  Measure the shorter side and that's the max length you will end up with.
