I am 17 years old and i got into a car accident about 2 months ago. I broke 2 vertebrates in my back. They had to put 2 rods and 8 screws in my back to fuse 5 vertebrates together. Would this disqualify me from getting a 1st class medical?

However, I've personally flown with guys who had tons of metal screws in their back bones, leg bones; some even had loose screws in their head…
In fact, I myself have some 6 titanium screws in my jaw from an old car accident injury.
I seriously doubt you'll have any problems in the future but to be on the safe side, contact leftseat.com before you apply for a medical. I do not get paid for endorsing them however several of my former students and/or copilots have used their services and were very pleased.
Tell them what you got and they'll be very straight forward with you.
Good luck and keep us posted plz.
