Hi Maria
You have a pre op date before your surgery date is set? Mine always have to be within 2 weeks of the surgery date.
No it is not a stress fracture as far as I know. He just said it is fractured. I had this level done for the first time last August. At that time he redid some that were not fused yet and took out a few screws here and there(I think) Also did one diskectomy. I'm almost loosing count myself.
If nothing is going to be down about my alignment at that time he will do kyphoplasty. that is what he has done in the past.
