Surgery for Degenerative Disc Disease - Cervical
Hi all:
So, I have a confirmed dx of DDD in C2-C7. "Worse than moderate" degeneration in C4-5 and C5-6.
I'm actually getting agreement from the WC doc that surgery (and probably more than one) will be required. Probably the first within the next year or so.
I have a deep prejudice that I want the surgery done by a neurosurgeon. At that level, they're talking serious quad results with a screwup. But other people are telling me that anterior fusions are frequently done by orthopedic surgeons.
Any studies? Opinions? Anecdotes?
Thanks.
Sandi
