Hi all:

So, I have a confirmed dx of DDD in C2-C7. "Worse than moderate" degeneration in C4-5 and C5-6.

I'm actually getting agreement from the WC doc that surgery (and probably more than one) will be required. Probably the first within the next year or so.

I have a deep prejudice that I want the surgery done by a neurosurgeon. At that level, they're talking serious quad results with a screwup. But other people are telling me that anterior fusions are frequently done by orthopedic surgeons.

Any studies? Opinions? Anecdotes?

Thanks.

Sandi
