How long To Fuse?
I am scheduled for my 1 month post op on 11.19.03. I am to have an Xray taken earlier that day. What will it show? Should fusion of taken place yet? Started?

Thanks!
Dylan

I had my first post op at 7 weeks, with xrays and it showed the fusion had started. It was at that time I was released from the collar totally. I also started PT two days later.

Good luck with your appointment and come back and let us know if the xray shows fusion.

I went for my first post-op visit 5 weeks after surgery...and the fusing had begun!

Good luck to you.
