I had a failed c5-6 anterior and they went right back in anterior and did it over and also did c6-7 then used a plate to lock it down and a bone stim for 6 months. It depends on what the surgeon is most comfortable with and as each of us is different, a case by case decision. I know that posterior has a lot more muscle to get to where you are going.....
Ginnie the big corp that I was treating with were physiatrist. The doctor I was seeing refuses to release me so another doctor there can treat me, and she refuses to see me again herself. STILL after all the new evidence stated it was in my head and there was nothing wrong with me at all! That note is following me everywhere I go and making treatment difficult.
