I think recovery is the biggest issue, though. Quite a few posters here do long/hard miles with fewer-than-average vertebrae. I guess everything around the injury has to be stronger than normal to compensate .... which means more PT.

I would say that your "typical" bike fitter (mainly dealing with road racing bike fits using Retul etc) is not really going to be of much help here. Some of the better fitters (there are a few who actually specialise in injury recovery fitting) might be able to help you, but I think you are more likely to be wasting your money here. It all comes down to the specific experience of the fitter and I would expect most would be out of their depth here. A physio who happens to also be a keen cyclist is probably your best bet for advice.
