My curve was never measured, I am guessing it was over 60 degrees. The day it was activated they estimated it at 20 degrees that day and tried to correct some of it by modeling. That is something I don't care to experience again. I am supposed to keep trying to bend it every day and hopefully it will straighten out.

What I failed to say in my last message is th surgeon corrected most of the curve during surgery but for some reason could not get it completely straight. I assume the reason was because of the swelling.

From 60 degree curve to 20 degree curve sounds great! Thats a good improvement, I know you want the full curvature gone but I think 20 is very manageable and you should be happy, and in the future it'll even straighten out even more. Keep us updated

Yes I can live with the curve I have now. I still have some soreness and I have to be careful I am trying to use it. It is much better than before surgery.
