    Hi Dr. Corenman,
    I went to see a new Orthopedic Spine Specialist for a second opinion last week and I just received his Report yesterday in the mail.
    Dr.Corenman he reviewed the same X-RAY Images that I posted on here and you reviewed for me, and would like your opinion on his findings, because your a great Spine Doctor and you give everyone who writes you great advice.
    Dr. Corenman this is what the Doctor said in his report listed below.

    I have reviewed your X-RAY Images which demonstrates that you have evidence on your neutral film of Spondylosis and fusion in a slightly Kyphotic position at C5-6 level.On your Flexion views, I see you have Moderate instability at C4-5. I also see that you have a fairly significant Neuroforaminal Stenosis at C4-5.Your Plain X-RAYS also demonstrate that you have an abnormality in the shape of the Vertebral body of C5,Where I suspect you had your damage done at the time of your accident.You have completely collapse the C5-6 disc space.You have developed an anterior Osteophyte and do not have any movement on Flexion extension at C5-6,as well as the fact that it is at a slightly Kyphotic position.
    When you Flex you dramatically Kyphose and open up the C4-5 region,as well as the Angular motion you also have a slight Subluxation of C4 and C5.
    In Extension you don’t quite get back to a normal alignment and you continue to have a Kyphotic deformity at C4-5, again as a result of the injury and abnormal shape of the Vertebral body of C5.The Head weighs approximately 12 to 15 pounds which contributes this problem.
    Your plain x-rays also demonstrates ,as I have mentioned before, a Fusion in a Kyphotic position at C5-6 and your Flexion\Extension x-rays demonstrate very little movement at C5-6, but you do Sublux at C4-5 when you Flex and by that I mean the Vertebral of C4 moves forward when you Flex and backwards when you extend at C4-5.Your plain x-rays also demonstrates that you have Chronic Ligamentous Instability at C4-5 as I mentioned before and severe disc space narrowing, and endplate sclerosis at C5-6.

    Dr.Corenman could you please review my X-RAYS again and let me know if you agree with with his findings and could you please explain what he means when he said I Sublux at C4 level ? What is endplate sclerosis ?

    What is Chronic Ligamentous Instability at C4-5 ?

    Could you please explain what he’s saying above ?

    Thank You so much for your help

    Hi Dr.Corenman,
    I was reading an article about instability and it said that people can have both Translation and Angulation motion. Dr.Corenman do I have both ? Please let me know the Angulation measurement if I do

    Thank You !! Have a good night

    Hello Dr.Corenman,
    First Thank You for viewing my X-RAYS for me,I really appreciate it. I have a few more questions !!

    Is the C4-5 level still moderately Unstable ?

    How does the C1-2, C2-3, C3-4 levels look to you ? Hopefully okay

    Dr.Corenman what do you mean by that the C4 level is always under going Shear force when I’m up right and as such, has worn out the Facets.Could you please explain what it’s actually doing at C4 level when I’m up right for me please?

    Dr. Corenman, You told me in a past post of my 2015 X-RAYS that I had 4mm motion from flexion to extension and now at the present time you’re saying it’s 3mm motion.Does this mean that the Instability is getting better or does it only gets better by having Stabilizing surgery.

    So the Facets at C4 level are all worn out and incompetent and is the Ligaments are also damaged to at that level ?

    What might be causing the neck pain I been having that raditates up into the back of my head ? The Arthritis or the Instability or combination of both ?

    Dr. Corenman, Thank You so much for helping me by viewing my X-RAYS and answering my questions for me. Dr.Corenman you are a truly a great Doctor with Compassion for helping people by giving them great advice and answering their questions. Thank You again, I really appreciate it!!
