I have several clients with sextant fusions that go back many years. There are so many fusion techniques.... and so many 'less invasive' systems like the sextant. IMHO, just like with artificial discs... "if you are a good candidate and get a good job done, all will work"; I believe this to be true with the fusion systems too. With the correct diagnosis, if you get good fusion (and don't damage too much with the surgery) and you are likely to succeed.
