Any risks that those screws could halo or loosen? Perhaps not as much since there's mobility invovled? What does he use besides rods in conjunction with the pedicle screws? It looks like it has flex.

MRI in 2012 showing L4/L5, L5/S1 herniations and L2/L3 bulge.

L5/S1 taking on new shape, chronic sciatica, etc.

DEXA bone scan performed 5/7/14 showing mild osteopenia.

Surgery performed July 9th, 2014, Dr Clavel, hybrid three level lumbar.

Thanks for the reply, had to pull up a couple other lumbar spine MRI images with labels to be 100% certain I was seeing things right. Pretty sure mine is slipped worse than that, appreciate the ability to compare.

Fathub; Amazing the entire lumbar spine involved , correct? Are the upper two fused? How is this person doing? Maybe they can post some of their experience(s) / updates here. That would be very interesting to hear about and follow. Thanks for posting the x-ray.
