I am wondering about something. I have significant osteoporosis. I wonder how will that work into a have to surgery? Surely a plate, bolts and screws wont hold up long like that. Unless they choose to fuse it all but still wondering if that would hold. I am curious if you know of anyone else facing or faced a surgery with significant osteo and how it is holding up for them. I may end up posting that question. I just went this week and did a new bone density, haven't gotten the results yet to see if my meds are helping it any.
