Sounds pretty easy. I might get one of those just to break the monotony of reading IM2's creepy weird threads.


"A one-level fusion joins two bones while a two-level fusion joins three bones. Fusion will take away some flexibility in your spine, but most patients do not notice....

...The ALIF is performed in a hospital setting. Patients typically go home a day or two after surgery; recovery takes 6 to 12 weeks."
