What are the risks and recovery expectations?
Risks include infection, nerve injury, dural tear, implant failure, or incomplete fusion, though rates are low with experienced surgeons. Recovery typically involves a 5–7 day hospital stay, followed by 6–8 weeks of limited activity with a brace. Most patients return to light work by 6 weeks and full activities by 3–6 months, guided by physical therapy.
