This patient has been with me for a few years and has a C3-C6 fusion. Now, they have a disc herniation at C6-7, which is causing kyphosis – an excessive forward curvature of the upper spine. Let me show you the modic signs as well as the disc herniation in more detail. The question today is: can we keep the spinal plate or do we have to remove it during the discectomy?
