Bone Density
I had a hip & lumbar bone density score of -2.1 when my 3-level lumbar ADR was performed.
After a couple of years on Fosamax and calcium supplements, I was last tested in 2008 at -1.7.
I don't know if my current problems are related to bone density problems (post surgical rotation and curvature). I have not experienced any subsidence.
Dr. Zeegers did not use vertebroplasty in my case.
