2 rods. 4 screws.
But, the pain I have endured for 3 decades is gone. At 20 weeks from surgery, I still have some restrictions regarding torsion motions, but I am pain free except for some lingering surgery pain. I fought having a fusion until they had too much evidence showing it was necessary. My Neurospinal Surgeon is brilliant.
I am so grateful to be pain free.
