Hey Everyone,
I'm unfortunately not very strong in all the medical terms and I'm therefore very much in need of some assistance..
The doctors words:
"A revision surgery would entail doing a posterior instrumented fusion from approximately T3 or T4 down to the sacrum and pelvis."
"..it would also be necessary to shorten the right side of your spine from T8 to L4."
"If a single large osteotomy were performed, probably L1 would be the logical place to do it."
Now, I know where my sacrum and pelvis is. (clever girl )
But I'm very unsure of the exact position of T3, T4, T8, L4 and L1 on the spine. And it is therefore my hope that some of you in here are able to help me with this!
The x-ray show my spine with my current instrumentation.
Thank you.
Benedicte
