Default Fusion Rod Separation

I am a post op three time spinal fusion patient. Now S1 to T8. Last two surgeries January and March 2011. Found out rods are separating. Initial notation re separation was May 2011. Just found out November 2012. Having difficulty supporting upper body again and pain around thoracic area back and front. Anyone had this problem. How was the repair approached so not to happen again. Thanks.
