The Spinal Solution

This would have been my neck if had been performed in USA. CERVICAL FUSION ONLY!!! (see bracket). THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE? REALLY?

As a person, physician or patient would I choose a total loss of over 50% of cervical range of motion?! And a high probability of future degeneration and failure of C3-4? (see red arrow). Then what???

BTW: There is no surgery available to "un-fuse" a fused neck!! If you fuse... that's it! You lose!

Would you have your knee fused today if that was the only thing available in the US? Fusion of the neck is no different... it's barbaric and unethical.
