Are you having one done? If so why?
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
in summer of 2008 I had an anterior cervical disc removal and fusion done to my C5-C7 spine with use of cadaver bone; do to my work as a nursing asst . I was lifting a heavy patient this past April. The patient suddenly buckled at the knees forcing me to bare all their weight. Had immediate pain so went back to the doctor. He had a CT myelogram done on me and it cam back that I have a possible non-union at the C5/6 and a definite non-union at the C6-C7. So this time they wanna go in and re-fuse opening up my back this time *instead of going in through the fron*t and, using bone off my hip instead of more cadaver bone. So I'm little more concerned about recovery this time around.

Since the CT showed that then yes you will probably have to go through with the procedure because leaving it will obviously create more issues down the road. Recovery depends on how big the opening will be, and how much bone they are actually going to extract. The surgical practices now are amazing so they likely have some new methods at minimizing at side effects or scarring. The pain could be a lot though, so you may want to take those. It is surgery though so it will not hurt to go to your doctor or surgeon for that matter to ask as many questions as you can.
