My anterior cervical fusion failed - I have had 2 cervical fusions in the last 2 years. C5-C7 fused in June 2009, and in August 2010 it was found that the bottom disk was not fusing, so the surgeon replaced it. Now the surgeon says that C5-C6, which looked great last December, is no longer fused. He says it's like it evaporated. He also says he hasn't seen anything like it in his 30 years as a surgeon. I am getting scheduled for CT scan and MRI's. My surgeon is well respected and I have heard only good things about him. Any thoughts/suggestions?
