Yes they will do posterior and either bone or cage in front. I am confused about the risks of the vascular surgery. They seem extremely confident that they will try to remove the discs but may not be able to. The will support front and back. It is a more difficult surgery but I am also scared about leaving the discs in? I will ask about Ct-angio but I just had a complete CT scan of the spain. Will that show anything else. I am so healthy otherwise.
