I’d really like to hear how soon others went back to active sports like tennis after a lumbar fusion.
Thanks!

Judenapier, single level fusions have a greater success rate which decreases with the amounts of levels fused. As far as Tennis goes, definitely ask your surgeon. The twisting of your back would be a concern. Secondly, when a vertebrae is fused, it sends the stress to the next weakest area. When you get a chance, look at adjacent disk disease……David
