A member asked:
When is a cervical fusion considered a non-fusion? i am 16+ months post-op on c4-7 fusion but c6/7 has a definite demarcation line between the 2 vertebrae as seen on ct imaging. i've heard that more than 1 year is non-fusion but others say 2+ years?

Dont listen to 'people' Talk to the surgeon who did the fusion and have him/her explain the CT findings. Good luck
