    Can't imagine doing this with tissue, ligaments and blood vessels in the way. Quite the mechanical implant.
    As the saying goes, the difference between a mechanic and a surgeon? The mechanic works on a stopped engine whereas the surgeon works on a running engine.

    Through an incision that is about 3-4 inches. It's amazing what they do & especially how they do it.

    I I thought the difference between mechanic and a surgeon was that a mechanic washes his hands before he goes to the bathroom...

    When orthopod did my ACDF in 2020 he slit my neck, assistant spread apart enough stuff so a Dremel-like grinder could be used to freshen surfaces on vertebrae, put in three titanium bridges for support. I woke up with no pain, and have recovered full use of my left arm. Never had pain after surgery. Another miracle.
