Default just in case

I don't know if your husband was tested for his BMD (bone mineral density) but before undergoing another fusion or revision even if that hasn't been tested (and typically I don't believe it is in males) it'd be worthwhile to be tested for as males can also have osteopenia and osteoporosis. If one has a certain degree of osteoporosis (like moderate to severe) that may be a consideration in more surgery such as fusion.

Good luck to your husband with whatever is done. Maria
