Titanium pedicle screws
The X-ray illustrates the titanium rods and pedicle screws that were attached to my lumbar vertebrae directly over the fusion. The allograft is progressing nicely.
You should also be able to see the doctor's markings where he measured the angle of my spine's curvature. At this stage it was 30-degrees, and there was a bit of worry that my spine hadn't stabilised; the distressing thought of further surgery hung over me for weeks.
