Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Maura, What were you Dx'd with to get fusion to C6? Did you have CM? Craniocervical Instability? Retroflex Odontoid? Why did they have to fuse you all the way to C6? And how long ago did you get your surgery? I'm really interested in knowing because that is what NY implied I would need (CCF to bottom of c-spine due to C5-6 herniation)if I didn't get relief from PT, wearing my collar, etc. I never went back for ICT to see how bad my instability or RO was, or even the TC sugery as I screened positive for it. My concern is that my CM was " minimal " and gave no measurements but I got CM1 Dx due to small posterior fossa. A lot of us fall into this category with minimal herniation. I wouldn't want CCF if at all ever. I don't take that surgery lightly, and couldn't live alone then. Then there are others where TC surgery did not help, and some where the cord re-attached.
