Fathub "Here is how Bertagnoli solves the spondylolisthesis issue.....it's his own innovation". WOW, is that your lumbar spine pic?? Thanks

Do you set off metal detectors at airports?!!

Any risks that those screws could halo or loosen? Perhaps not as much since there's mobility invovled? What does he use besides rods in conjunction with the pedicle screws? It looks like it has flex.

Thanks for the reply, had to pull up a couple other lumbar spine MRI images with labels to be 100% certain I was seeing things right. Pretty sure mine is slipped worse than that, appreciate the ability to compare.

Wow, can't really made heads or tails of the gear you have in there.

No it's a friend of mine that I helped get over there.....

Here's his background on this.... http://dr-bertagnoli.com/360-motion-...n-surgery.html

no believe it or not....but a hand scanner will detect it......I keep a copy of the fixtures stapled inside my Passport and also a picture of the X-ray on my iPhone to prove it....

Fathub; Amazing the entire lumbar spine involved , correct? Are the upper two fused? How is this person doing? Maybe they can post some of their experience(s) / updates here. That would be very interesting to hear about and follow. Thanks for posting the x-ray.

NO FUSING…..all 360 Mobility Preservation units that Bertagnoli developed himself……I've only got one at L4/3 because of the the spondylolisthesis
