Spinal fusion the the T12-L4 levels with bilateral pedicle screws posterior to the T12, L2, L4 segments and bilateral spinal harrington rods. the rods terminate posterior to the L4 level. There is slight straightening of the lumbar lordosis without acute compression fracture or subluxation. Only the L4-S1 discs visualized demonstrating mild annular disc bulging with degenerative vacuum disk phenomena at the L4-L5 level with bilateral foraminal stenosis. Mild left foraminal stenosis at L5-S1 level due to broad-based disc bulging. Sagittal and coronal reformatted images demonstrate levorotoscoliosis with the apex at the L2 level.
My question is, can I get the rods removed??
