Bone density test showed i had osteopenia couple of years age. since test i've had spine surgery with instrumentation. can i get another test done?

Yes: Depends on level of instrumentation on whether your spine will be able to be tested and compared to previous. Hips will still be able to be tested in order to risk stratify you.
