Question
Hi Leslie not sure if you remember me I am sure you get ALOT of emails. I wrote you back in February regarding cervical stenosis w/ cord compression with possible surgery in my future. Well I booked the surgery May 6th, my surgeon will be removing C4-5 & C5-6 replacing them with "plastic" then securing the area with a small plate, to me it looked like a flat hinge....do you have any info on the "plastic disc" I ahve been doing some research and it seems that is what is being used these days. Thanks again

Answer
hi kelly-

Glad to hear back- alot of times people just vanish...  The 'plastic' is some manner of polymer (use the big words, it'll make you feel better about the price!). I don't know too much about these except that they are frequently used and seem to have few problems- remains flexible, low infection rates, etc etc...

sorry i don't have more to offer you here- googling it would probably turn up lots of information! Good luck, I hope it goes smoothly and fixes what ails you!

thanks
leslie
