 Patients will be contacted 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72hrs after surgery by the operative surgeon or research coordinator to assess their pain scale and pain medication intake. Patients will be seen for routine post-operative follow-up visits at two, six, twelve, twenty-four, and fifty-two weeks. At these times, patients will be assessed for pain, residual neurological symptoms, and signs of infection. Patients will also be asked if they were satisfied with their postoperative pain control. Total duration of study will be fifty-two weeks. Data collection documents will be distributed to the patients at time of surgery to assist in patient understanding.
