Was fluoroscope - which is also called a C-Arm or live-guided X-ray - used during your minimally invasive procedures?
Oftentimes, those films can detect things that may not display on customary radiographic imaging (X-rays, MRI, etc.) - such as if the facets are also affected by arthritis or degeneration. Those li'l facets are what mobilize the spine or make mobility possible
