I had a similar situation as Annie back in 1988 and had fusion with laminectomy L5 w/ fusion L4-S1. Mine was done with stainless steel plates and screws which are no longer used. Titanium is a much better choice now used. I have no regrets except I cannot have an MRI.

Did you have Osteoporosis when you had your fusion ? I do and that can be dangerous from what I have read if the bones aren't strong enough to hold the screws and plates in place. How long was your recovery ?
