Broken Cervical Screws

Hello, sorry about your accident. I think you shouldn’t wait to see your neurosurgeon any longer. If you can’t find your neurosurgeon, go to another but don’t wait! Go to MRI or x-ray to be sure what happened and if there is really a broken screw, which one is it. But if you do MRI, I think you’ll have to wait couple of weeks for results to be over. The longer you wait, the smaller are chances for them to admit that your screw broke at the moment of the accident. You know what it means, your insurance company will have to pay you some money. My brother had a screw C7 that broke, so I know how inconvenient it can be.

I live in Michigan and i have had 2 cervical fushions in one and half years on c5-c6 and c6-c7 in my neck and i have had continues pain since then, and i just was back to the surgeon again and he told me that i have been walking around for the past few months with a broken neck because my fushion never healed, how could his happen my bone densidy is rather well at 2.7 for a 36 year old they told me now they will have to open my back and it is a more serious surgery how did this go wrong???? now i am terrified because i also have 2 more disks bad and am so worried what is going to happen when they fix them. i was always working 10-12 hour days and now i am being told that i may never work again what am i suppose to do what / who do i trust.

ctek just did a recall on screws that were not to the correct strength product liability case

I was just told my c-7 cervical spine screw has broke what do I so now and what are they going to do to fix
