2 surgeries
Hmmmm....lets see you could do the fusion posterior in the Us let your ins pay. Then go overseas or stay here and pay your own Adr anterior. The bigger risk is to have 2 anterior approaches as annapurna mentioned.
Either way doesn't sound fun. If you can get the funds together, my vote would be oot country. Your cost prob will be less anyway.
Good luck, I will keep you in my prayers.
