If the level is already fused, there would be no stress on the screws holding the plate over the fused levels. What might have caused them to become loose of there is no load?

On second thought... don't ask your surgeon that. You'll only piss him off.

It sounds like there is so much going on, but it's very soon after surgery. I'm looking forward to hearing of the great progress you'll be making. (your phone is ringing!)
