Hello everyone on this thread. So I have read that having osteoporosis can be a complicating factor with fusions. And I have osteoporosis. I've interviewed many surgeons and most of them say they can do it anyway but one guy was very cautious and he said to me I might have a bigger pain if I did fusion. Have anyone on this thread have osteoporosis and still have fusion including the person who saw Dr McClellan? I'm on osteoporosis medication but it's unclear how long I would have to be on it for my bones to be strong enough to hold any hardware. Thanks for any help

@ccchang Hi Cori, yes that is correct. My surgeon was Dr. Jamal McClendon at the Phoenix Mayo Clinic.
