    Default TLIF L3-L4 and dynamic stabilization L4-L5

    Regards,

    any experience with dynamic stabilization and TLIF, maybe even together in one person?

    In 2 months time I will undergo this procedures, as my PLDD seems to be a failure (even though doctor told me we must wait 2 weeks, I am pretty sure situation will remain the same).

    Thanks.

    Hi Keano,

    I had a Posterior Dynamic Stabilization device placed in May 2009 (as I'm sure you know). Here is my Surgical Outcome thread for your reference.

    Hopefully, you will start to see improvement in your situation in the coming weeks. Please let me know if you need anything. Of course, we can always talk offline as well.

    No problem. Good luck and I hope the next few months treat you well pain-wise.
