Hi Dr. Corenman:
Is there a method of predetermining how well or how fast a patient will fuse with blood work up or other bone analysis ?
I have a local Dr. that says I should have vit D levels, magnesium levels, parathyroid levels, testosterone levels and any other things checked to make sure I am a good candidate.
Also, regarding the bone you take from the laminectomy that you put in cage, is that bone as good for fusion as the bone taken from hip to fuse ?
Thank you !
