@annie1 The best I can tell you is to keep your question about statistics more general, such as what is the success rate for this procedure for a person with my health conditions that includes osteoporosis? You may want to see a specialist who also considers osteoporosis as part of the treatment plan. I do know of a surgeon like this, only because another member had seen this surgeon and confided that information with me. I don't have experience with him, but I will share his information.

Jennifer I am very grateful that you sent me that link. He sounds like a great surgeon for me to see. I'm excited now after listening to his video also. Thanks again and happy holidays!
