Hi OTG and welcome to the forum,
Been there, done that - we all understand your problems and pain. Your insurance company approved as ADR, a miracle unto itself but your bones are a no go.
If you're completely against a double fusion, I see two possibilities. You can try an osteoporosis drug for a year or so to build up bone density. You can also have surgery in Germany or other country where bone 'glue' is legal. I do doubt that your insurance company would pay for an out of country elective surgery but is worth investigating.
I realize these aren't the best solutions and you must decide for yourself which way to go, it's food for thought.
I wish you the best, Dale
BTW, what insurance do you have?
