A member asked:
Can you replace a dissing your back and replace a vertebrae in your neck if you have osteoporosis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Yes, you can replace a disc in your neck and a vertebrae in your back is the simple answer to your question. That being said, those are surgical procedures that are not traditionally done for osteoporosis. I would encourage you to be seen by a reputable spine surgeon who can discuss the operative and nonoperative options in your case.
