Spinal Fusion With Instrumentation Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I had had a fusion procedure in the past and am now having a lot of pain where my hardware is.
Painful hardware can be a problem and there are several reasons for this. The most important is to know if the spinal fusion was successful? Special testing needs to be done to determine this. Removing "painful hardware" alone only has a 50% success rate.
