Hi all,
My surgeon left one vertebrae at the top unfused and one at the bottom (my curve was from T11-L4, he fused T12-L3). He did this as a compromise between getting a good correction and maintaining lumbar flexibility. I was just wondering, does this mean that my curve can increase again or is it fine? I'm probably worrying unnecessarily but just need the reassurance. Thanks
