The reports on Manning where a Herniated Disk. So unless there is something that is not being reported, ADR would seem like an option?
I've often wondered what are the contradictions to not having ADR surgery? Other than a slipped vertebrae. Many Dr's that are mentioned on these boards will operate on most cases.
I can't speak for everyone, but I have a feeling that single level fusions may just be the right fix for most people. We here the horror stories on the internet, Part of that could be all the success stories have moved on with their lives.
My own personal experience is I am doing much better with the fusions in my neck than I did with the ADR's. But then again my ADR's where at Stenum. My fusions and ADR revisions where here in the states.
However if I had to do a lower back I think I would go for the ADR.
