If you’ve been told you need fusion, READ THIS BOOK FIRST!
The decision to undergo spinal surgery is a critical one; few decisions in life are more crucial to your future! If you or a loved one are considering spinal fusion or any other spine surgery, you owe it to yourself to understand all your options.
The field of spinal surgery is changing rapidly. The “state of the art” has moved far beyond fusion and discectomy, and a whole new world of options now allow patients to recover quickly, regain lost mobility, and return to work and recreational activities without restriction.
In this book, you will learn:
The predictable, long-term complications that can follow nearly every fusion.
Why the surgical techniques of the 60’s and 70’s continue to have profound and negative impact on the patients of today.
How artificial disc replacement and hybrid fusion are allowing patients to avoid the long-term complications of fusion and enjoy a life of complete mobility and freedom instead of stiffness and pain.
Join international spine experts Karsten Ritter-Lang, M.D., and Jan Spiller, M.D., as they help you decide “To Fuse or Not to Fuse.”
