It’s like a game of Pac-Man, but in this case, Pac-Man is eating the iliac bifurcation.

Is it possible that the L1 compression fracture was contributing to his back pain?

When is the next flight to Europe leaving?

I like Neuro too, in fact I love it, but I didn’t know the Maverick used screws. Having said that, there must be a more reliable way to do this. Maybe they could make the keel cross-shaped, like an X, if that would prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

Anyone in the field of Neurosurgery, I would greatly appreciate your opinion. You guys are my heroes.
