My Anterior Cervical Discectomy Require a Bone Plug
The Bone plug Fail.
It was Removed with a second surgery.
But was not replace?
I saw the X-rays and the size of the bone plug look like
a 1/4 inch.
My Fusion look to be at a 1/8 of a inch smaller
My docter told me the fusion had taken
and did not want to do a third surgery but
I have great pain in my neck still with headaches
and the right arm, also my right hand.
My neck pops when I turn my Head
Not all the time
but it feels like bone on bone when it does.
Surgery was 6/25/98 and 9/24/98.
is this normal.
And why would he not replace the bone plug
Thankyou
