I spoke with Dr. Lauerman's nurse practicioner today and she told me that he plans to remove my Isola rods and replace them with Expedium rods. I understand they are fairly new and I have never heard of them before as they are not mentioned in any of the books I've read. Can anyone tell me anything about this system? Pros...cons...
Also, I found out that he is going to do a pedicle subtraction osteotomy at L3 and a posterior fusion at L2-L4. I'd love to hear from anyone who has undergone a similar procedure. It's getting down to the wire. My first autologous blood donation is next Friday. Tick tock.
Thanks,
Brandi
