Hi guys.

Some may have seen my thread on my spondylolisthesis 90% slippage. I was planned to have a fusion with bone graft from my hip. However i saw in a newspaper some ppl have had a titanium chip instead.

Has any1 had this b4? What are the benefits?

sounds good to me,wish they would suggest that idea,be better than fighting two major incisions.Bone graft must be the worse they say

titanium was used in my husbands' 2nd surgery but that was the plate, the bone came from hip. This surgery worked.. Good luck to you
