So if there are stability issues with multi-levels, why are the surgeons not doing more hybrids, the combination of fusions and ADR? That way the top level will have the mobility that seems so necessary to prevent adjacent disc disease, but the fusion below provides stability.

I just found out that the m6 is the only disc on the market that I am not allergic to, so I'm trying to sort out where and how to get it without losing my home.
