Dustin,

That is great news! This sounds like a pretty high risk surgery, but from all you've gone through I can certainly understand why you'd proceed. With the intractable pain I was in before my double ADR, I was willing to do almost anything for relief. How many of these has Dr Grover done? Do you have a time frame on when this might get done? Was your fusion from posterior instrumentation? Or was is BMP smeared over the implant? Will you be in a halo for some weeks after the explant?

Thanks for the update. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted!

Good luck, Jeff
