A member asked:
Would you do surgery if you had c3 to c7 bulgingdiscand with 9mm narrowing of the central canal with my doctor wants to fuse one not all.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C/S fusion : Findings on a cervical spine MRI alone may not be enough to determine if surgery is or is not needed. Rather, the combination of findings on mri, failure of conservative treatment, degree and progression of symptoms, as well as objective evidence of neurological compromise are used in determining if surgery is the best option.
