DIAM vs ADR

[Katie]

I questioned the DIAM doctor again about why he thinks this device is better than the ADR for me specifically. Here is his reply. I am glad that he is direct, and obviously passionate. Any comments?

I can understand your concerns.

Let me tell you that I am a thinking doctor and my only mandate is to provide relief to my patients and excellence in work.

Let me put in capital letters - ARTIFICIAL LUMBAR DISC REPLACEMENT WILL BE A DISASTER IN YOUR CASE in the lumbar region. You are not a candidate for the same. Your problem is not the discs but the stenosis of the canal as a result of ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and facet joint osteoarthritis. Such a situation will not only rule out the possibility of disc replacement but also might make your condition your symptoms.
