A member asked:
I had a c3 to c6 fusion done january 2020. my new xray now shows junctional prominent degenerative changes c6-7. what does this mean?

Translation= the bone edges appear frayed where c6-7 come together instead if being well defined (like a burry picture). What this means in your case should be answered by your doc who knows all the features of the case. I suspect it is a minor change they may expect.
