Mine have been computer guided. The radiologist's report on the follow up said "The alignment is virtually anatomic."

@denheels Thanks for enlightening me. That sounds like a good thing. My surgeon told me when you fuse a cervical level, it causes it to dump forward a bit because it is aligned straight. The normal alignment for the neck is to curve backward which they call the lordotic curve. Some surgeons do a “curve correction “ and put the lordosis back in and that will affect the ability to bend forward.
