no collar

Hi Everyone, I am having a posterior cervical fusion on c2 c3 c4....(c4 only one side as arthritis has fused it) next month.
What I am concerned about is the surgeon said I won't need a collar. Has anyone here had a posterior fusion? I have instability at c2 & C3. Thanks so much. jinky

Hi Jinky, Welcome.

There have been posterior fusions here; I don't know if any of those folks are currently active. You can find posts/threads via the search facility.
