From what I can gather it would be a combination of a pedicle screw and Rod device in combination with a Maverick type ADR without the actual fusion of any bone material.

So we would get the benefits of the fusion support with the rod and screw system as well as the mobility from the ADR with easy access for adjustments/revisions if needed in the future.

Let me dig up some more info and post more detail on the product and the company.

3 epidurals / 2 nerve root injection / 6 weeks of PT

8/01/2008 L4-S1 Posterior Spinal fusion only, using the PEEK ROD system. No Vertebral spacer and disc is still there. So is the pain!!!!

4 More weeks of PT and things are worse now than before.
I must train again.
