Fusions seem to almost always fail within five years from what I was ever able to find out. My last attempt was about 4 years ago to see a specialist at Barns Jewish Hospital in St Louis. Part of my problem is advanced spinal stanious (sp?) and arthritis that make me an even worse canidate for surgery. I need new knee's also.

Part of the problem for failure may be people re-injure them selves by doing the wrong things, such as using riding lawnmowers or hard landings after skydiving.
