Not comfortably: I can't concieve of a set of symptoms or circumstances that would result in a 5 level cervical fusion we all need to review the indications for acdf. I obviously dont have all the information and this is a complex case in general . Fusion reversals for fuse short rod long days in trauma lead to cont pain.
