If there is an option for treatment that you personally do not perform (for example a specialized injection, MIS technique, OLIF, etc), under what circumstances should you discuss that option with the patient?
Always
Only if there is a significant benefit to that option compared to what I perform
If there is minor or equivocal benefit to that option- the patient should know all reasonable options
As long as what I can do will provide an adequate result, I would not mention the other options
Never
