Tableone... sorry about the missed communication.
I did research for a client who had a scoliosis fusion at age 17 from T2 down to L4, so the only functioning disc level was L5-S1. She was in her late 40's at the time and L5/S1 was pretty thoroughly collapsed.
I understand that when these long scoli fusions are extended to the sacrum, that the potential problems are very substantial. Motion preservation technology is pretty attractive here. There is much to discuss, but too much to type... please contact me.... My phone number is on the website contact us pages... ispine and globalpatientnetwork.com
