Spinal Fusion Surgery - C5-6 - Anterior Cervical Discectomy (Diskectomy). Shows a cervical spine herniated disc injury with an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedure (Cloward style). Surgical steps: A. Horizontal incision into the neck at the C5-6 level, B. Exposure of the vertebrae with discectomy and decompression at C5-6, C. Drill making a large hole between the two vertebrae, D. Dowel of bone graft placed between C5-6 for final fusion.

I found this by typing in Cloward fusion diskectomy, which is in my Surgical Word Book.

Subject: T-U fusion or TU fusion. also, hypocalcemia, yes. see message

found on line:
"On EKG, hypocalcemia may be signified by a lengthening of the ST segment and QT interval"

T-U fusion (from what I can find) is related to hypokalemia rather than hypocalcemia. Might take some searching?

"Other findings associated with hypokalemia include the following: The U wave and T wave merge in some cases to form a T-U wave which may be misdiagnosed as a prolonged QT interval."
