Dan, I have 2 Charite's in my lumbar spine, now 7.5 years post-op. I personally know literally hundreds of ADR patients. IMHO, if you are a good candidate and you get a good job done, you stand a high chance of success, regardless of the brand of disc.

Is your potential surgeon and experienced ADR surgeon?
