Well I am not real familiar with the cages, I had bone graft and then titanium locking plates and screws with pins placed. This was the second surgery and I was able to go home very next morning and NO COLLAR! That was a blessing all of its own! The first surgery I also got to go home next day, but I had to wear that dreaded collar for 92 days!

First surgery with the collar recliner was DEFINITELY a must. Second surgery I didn't need anything, but a Sobikowa cloud pillow REALLY helped!
