Adjacent level degeneration in the c-spine

[fortitudine]

This is a continuation of some comments made on Steve55's thread. I didn't want to hijack it, so I've started this new one. The comments about adjacent level probelms at c1/2/3 not being very likely interested me greatly.

That's because my NS here wants to fuse c2/3 even though it is perfectly fine, because it is next to 3/4/5 which he says need to be fused. When I queried him about the 2/3 he said he'd do it because it would probably go and it would be easier to do them all at once than have to go back and do 2/3 on its own.

It was 5 years ago that he told me that, perhaps recent research has revealed that 2/3 isn't likely to go?
