post-op pelvic fracture from bone graft site
I had cervical fusion surgery a month ago, two weeks after surgery my pelvis fractured at the bone graft site. I researched this post-op complication and found that it was due to either the graft being taken from the wrong location on the pelvis or that too large of a piece was taken from one location. When the pelvis fractured, I had to be taken to the ER by ambulance, and was admitted to the hospital for that and a staff infection of the of the neck, and fluid in the pelvis. I had to have another surgery to reopen both the neck and pelvis surgical cites. I am 50 and have been tested for osteoposis - results negative. Please advise I'm in pain and I'm angry.
Thank you.
