Andy,
It's great that you found this forum and are reading it like a man possessed as there is much info here and plenty of personal experiences re ADR implant of which I'm not one. Was scheduled for two ADRs (L4/L5S1) and then several years later ADR at L4 and fusion at L5S1. I chose not to have any more surgery for now.
That being said ~ CONGRATULATIONS on your success!!!! Whoohooo! That's wonderful to read and hope it long continues for you with no necessity of any other surgical intervention at that level or any other.
Good that you're interested and reading tho hope you are fully enjoying a healthy spine.
Its seems that technology changes with time as well as surgical approaches/advances and so forth so perhaps what you're reading now will all be different should there be further spinal challenges for you in the future.
Again, thanks for posting ~ a 6 year success rate sounds pretty awesome to me
