Hello, I am from Norway, but have been several times to Germany for surgery. As I have instability in my neck, a specialist in Heidelberg recommended fusion. I do trust him, but now I am very curious to hear where you had the artificial cervical discs replaced? I would like to consider that option, too.
Thank you in advance.
Kari

My C4-7 ACDF used laser printed titanium "cages" as new disks/spacers. The cages are perforated to permit natural bone growth and fusion. I also had a "typical" fusion. performed. 3+ months post-surgery and I'm quite happy. This work was done at Mayo Jacksonville.

Hello Kari. I went to Pro Spine in Bogen. There were other surgeons that I considered but I kept coming back to Pro Spine's orthopedic surgeon. Given the number of discs, he was the only choice for me due to his experience and skills. If you would like more information, I would be happy to talk wih you. There is only so much that you can type in this forum.
