A member asked:
How likely am i expected to suffer from adjacent arthrosis if i have my cervical spine fused at 5,6 level at the age of 29? inevitable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slightly: Fusion of the spine can lead to increased workload of the adjacent vertebrae. Activity may also have a bearing on that as well. Some studies suggest the rate of adjacent arthrosis only slightly geater than a normal spine. Avoid excessive impact activities.
