I have a client who had 2-level Dynesys implanted behind 2-level Charite on Thursday. He had the 'tilting vertebrae' that we sometimes see. We have no idea what the long-term outcome will be, but if the Dynesys corrects the tilt, as it did in Carmont's case, he should look forward to a good outcome. He has some surgery induced thigh numbness, but that is not unexpected and seems minor. Hopefully, it will fade in days or weeks. Upon waking from the surgery, the numbness and pain in his feet and lower legs was gone. Again, too early to draw any conclusions. As he resumes more normal activites, we'll see. I'll report significant events as I learn them... or maybe he'll come and post.
