Hi everyone, i'm wondering about the fusion and if it's solid enough, can you see it when you look at your x-rays?
let's say you're 1 year or two post-op when the fusion is suppose to be solid, can you look at your x-rays and compare it with your lets say 1month post-op x-rays and see any difference?
i'm not talking about one or two levels i'm talking about the whole fusion, i'm almost 10 months post-op and i don't see any difference at all between my 5minutes post-op and other follow up x-rays and my last x-rays (9 months and a half post-op)
i'm really confused, my doctor says "your x-rays look good", but how did he know i mean, my first and last x-rays post-op are exactly the same are the fusion is something only the doctor can see? or he is just saying that because i don't have anything broken?
maybe 10 months is soon, but when it's the time to tell that your fusion has faild? and what do they do about it? (if you don't have broken hardware)
oh yeah another thing sorry what about the loose screws can you notice one if you or the doctor looked at the x-rays?
Thanks
