A few topics have been bouncing around here lately, and I added them to my list of questions for Hanson yesterday. The topics will all start with the subject "Questions I asked yesterday:" ...
Let's try to get a collection of answers!
If you answer, please refrain from quoting PubMed articles anyone can pull - that aren't even necessarily peer-reviewed.
Also be sure to name your surgeon, his speciality, and whether he's an SRS member.
Mine, as many of you know is:
Darrell S. Hanson, MD
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX (and, yes, he's SRS)
Specialties:
He doesn't do them.
When I asked why, he said he feels it increases the risk that post-op neurological damage can be masked.
He even went as far as to say the topic is raised every few years at SRS conferences: When the question is posed to 700 or so attendees ("How many of you have experienced masked neurological damage symptoms or deficits post-fusion with PCEA?"), he said ±100 hands are raised.
It'll be interesting the hear more on this ...
