Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Bennie/Ann, The reason that I say 3 incisions is because her friend's surgeon is planning to do a 360 fusion and with a 360 there is a front and back incision (like mine), and then if he does the pelvic bone grafting she will have a 3rd incision (maybe), so that is why I mention the 3 incisions, but usually a 360 is only 2 incisions, one in the front and in one in the back.

There are micorscopic procedures now but one strange thing, I had an open drain for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
