Thanks for your replies. Always good to hear from fellow spineys. He is a great personable doc that really does care. He told me before i do anything with this neurosurgeon he will talk to him because he cares about me. It was nice to hear. Even though he was not the surgeon when the injury happened, he feels responsible as he sent me to him.
Nice to have a plan that is for sure.
Very little purchase would be the screws are not doing a lot of holding on. Hard for me to describe. Say a little screw in a huge piece of bone. Maybe someone else can help with the answer.
