Additional info: image review: c3-7 acdf post-op x-rays reveal that the translational plate used appears to be fractured between c4-5 without displacement of the superior from the inferior segments.Hardware placement appears appropriate.There is a paucity of bone graft in the c4-5 peek graft compared to the other levels indicating that fusion may not have solidified there.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
