Terrified new member-C5-7 surgery scheduled
 

Please, don't flame me. I just got the orders yesterday. Globus Cage and Atlantis Vision Elite Plate are mentioned. I'm trying to do my research but it's confusing. Can someone please tell me how this is different from a graft? Thank you so much.

Hi Murph
 

Fear not. We do survive these approaches. I have a titanium plate which was mounted from anterior surgery to fuse my cervical spine. It was far more frightening to me NOT to have the procedure since to have failed in taking on the help would have consigned me to the loss of the use of both of my arms due to dramatic degenerative yuk. My nerves were being systematically sqeezed off/choked off so the arms were getting zero contact.

Now five months post surgical I am grateful to even be able to type this message...... something I could no longer do pre-surgery.
Yup,
Pray for ya,
Mark56:hug::grouphug:

I had no idea Mark56... Bless your heart. Hugs and prayers for you. You are special to me.
