"The L5-S1 Question" Is it worth it?
I had my pre-op today for my revision on November 13 and walked away slightly confused on what is best. I am currently fused T12-L2 and am looking at going T3 but the question is do I stop at L4 and risk another fusion or go ahead and fuse to the sacrum? Any thoughts?
