A member asked:

L5-s1 disk degenerated now bone on bone. neurosurgeon wants to do spine fusion. spine surgeon wants to do a disk replacement. what should i do & why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Great: Question, with many answers. The disc replacement will allow for some slight increase movement on an area that doesn't move much anyways. Fusion is the most common method. It comes down to talking to your surgeons and decide whom you trust the most. Good luck!
