Cervical Posterior fusion from C-3 thru C-7,

I had an anterior discectomy and fusion C4-7 a bit over a year ago. I think the only difference is front vs. back approach?
You didn't say when you had your fusion? It would help me understand your pain question. Thanks.

Posterior fusion was done in january of 2021 my surgeon placed the screws at c3-c4 into the facet joints and it didn't fuse there.I had a metal cage placed at c-3, c-4. Anteriorly with screws placed obliquely in March of 2022 with a different surgeon it helped with the pain as it fused at c-3,c-4,The only thing that helps me with neck pain is strong nsaids and muscle relaxers.
