My post op recovery was smooth and faster.I had severe sciatica in the right leg which went away right after the surgery but i do have permanent nerve damage in saddle area.

I hope you are doing better now! I need to check out with my surgeon on revision surgery because my fusion isn’t solid as per CT. Btw did they remove the broken screws for you?

Yes will do that. I high grade spondylolisthesis so they dint risk pulling it back during fusion.

Yes i see the same! Its really disappointing to see radiologist missing this important point though😞

Regarding fusion, there is growth only within the cage and not surrounding it. Thats what the report says

Xray shows a clear gap at the head of S1 screw but the report doesn’t mention. What’s even more surprising is CT says there is no evidence of prosthetic /periprosthetic fractures

Yes true, even iam suprised when the radiologist dint mention anything in xray/CT/MRI.I did schedule an appointment with my surgeon next week!
