Surgery on Monday 3/22/10 Wish Me Luck
Hello all, I will be having Revision Surgery on Monday 3/22. As shown in my signature, I have had two previous neck surgeries. This will be my 3rd and hopefully last. My Doc is going to remove the plates that are at C3/4 and C6/7. He says these sites are fully fused and no longer need the plates. Then he is going to do a ACDF on C4/5 & C5/6 with bone graph and hardware. So when all is said and done I will have 4 levels C3 - C7 completely fused. Is there anyone else out there that has basically had thier whole neck fused? I am just curious about range of motion. I trust my Doc and he is a expert at doing revision surgery. Wish me luck, and if any of you have had multiple levels fused, please share your experience with me. Thanks again.
Tim
