Sounds reasonable
Steve,
The 10-15% no better or worse is probably a reasonable percentage considering that ADR is in its infant stages; but no one wants to be in that group. 60% pain free ain't bad either.
Curious if there is a clinical study on these statistics on all ADR surgeries or even a study per device. The European's should have some stats on this given the length of time they've been performing ADR. I'm not on an overseas site, so is there anyone here from the UK/Germany that's familiar with these stats?
Not necessary for me, so far, just curious.
