Could you please tell us the symptoms you are currently experiencing? ASD can be managed, and the neck can be strengthened. The future might hold even better solutions for the neck (at least that is what I am hoping for, since my C2-3 and 3-4 are in still in bad shape even following ADRs). If you are currently having severe arm pain from what you are , I guess, calling a failed fusion, likely you should focus on that first. Why it happened, how to fix it. Who will fix it, in my humble opinion, comes next. Gather information. From any surgeon that will provide it without your budget. At least that is what I would do, and in fact did. Don't self defeat, fight back!
