The double fusion that low in the spine could easily lead to problems with your sacroiliac joints and hips. If you have any concerns with those prior to the fusion, I'd be very hesitant about fusing that many levels. Has anyone suggested a hybrid, fuse the level that has the worst facets and use an ADR on the level with the least facet involvement?
