@LowEndMuse May I ask, what did you have done? Disc Replacement?
@ITKV Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion. They took out the discs, replaced them with titanium cages, then installed a frontal plate to hold it all together. 👍🏻
@LowEndMuse OIC! My neck is a mangled mess from a breakage I suffered as a child that went undiagnosed. I suspect I will need something like this in the near future.
Will you lose the ability to turn your head side to side?
@ITKV No. Most of the head swiveling motion occurs at cervical
levels 1-3. What I had fixed is mostly responsible for load bearing. i.e.for supporting the head. I had C4-C5-C6-C7 fused.
