I've got a question about suregery of spondylolisthesis. Is the surgery always need metal roads or it is possible to stabilise the spine without any metal in my body? I'm playing a lot of sports, mainly football, and I need to know, how long after surgery it would take till I could again doing sports? I'm 17 years old, and I've got 4 mm spondolythesis at S1-L5 level.

PSSorry for my horrible English. My English is poor
