I have successfully prosecuted a negligent spine surgery case, but all of your symptoms can occur in the absence of negligence. Even if the cages are misplaced now, that could have been the result of migration of the devices after the surgery. A key question in evaluating your case will be whether your post-op symptoms were immediately present after the surgery. If they were, you may have a viable case. To know for sure, an attorney would have to review your medical records and probably have a radiologist look at your pre and post-op radiographic films.
