However the rate of failures is alarming. Back surgery is the only surgery I'm aware of that has such a high rate of failure that it has a condition specifically named for it—Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. The back/spine is particularly tricky because, like anything else mechanical that is prone to failure, it has so many moving parts. Doc
