@ga29 Did you get a recommendation from your provider about the screw location in your neck? Are there any plans to address this?

Yes, because the screw is located in the bottom of the plate at c7, he is going to remove the entire plate and replace it.
He says he's considering going in from the back and also the front.
I do have osteopenia. There is no decision on what caused this. I was super careful, but maybe not careful enough.
They are talking with the rep for the equipment, maybe the screw didn't hold up.
The surgery was done with many technological tools.
I don't know the answer, I was hoping there are others who have gone through this?
I wish I could do the fusion without any metal like you did, Jennifer!
