Ann, I moved your post to the main forum. I hope you don't mind.
The sextant system has been in use for many years. When it was introduced, it was one of the less invasive systems, allowing them to install the posterior instrumentation without doing as much collateral damage.
If your surgeon is a good mechanic and he has a lot of experience with the system, and the diagnosis is good, and he's a good candidate for the surgery; that's as good as it gets. I'm sorry that he is in the WC system... that really limits your options.
Has anyone discussed artificial discs or other alternatives to fusion?
All the best,
Mark
