I am sharing with you 1-year follow-up X-rays on a 42 yo active duty military gentleman with a 3-level cADR. Previously, in September of 2021, I shared on this platform a brief video at his 3 mo follow-up visit with this same patient stating how happy he was with the results. In this patient's case, he continues to report pain-free full ROM 1 year from the time of surgery.
Frequently, I see significant sagittal correction right after arthroplasty surgery as the anterior column height is restored and motion segments are mobilized. With longer follow-ups, I always like to look at serial x-rays to assess any changes, be they positive or negative. As I arranged his preop x-ray on the right and the subsequent follow-ups at 3 weeks, 3 months, and now 1 year to the left, I was struck by the beautiful progressive restoration in his sagittal alignment.
I am wondering if the surgeons within our LinkedIn community are observing similar findings in their patients.
