Some patients are able to have a single surgery while others may need a second or even a third to reduce pain and correct recurrent disc herniations, disc degeneration, and other spinal conditions. I’ve cared for this patient for 20 years or more, and it’s a good example of the long term problems that can occur with long spinal fusions. In this case, severe osteoarthritis in the sacroiliac joint.
