Just curious but how does the doc deal with spurring and facet arthrosis from an ante
When they put something solid in to fuse it, they restore to the height of what a normal disk would be. This takes the pressure off the nerves and the facet joints . The facet Joints will no longer be supporting the weight it should reduce inflammation and pain from the facet joints. Sometimes they also fuse the facets as well but not always.
