Mark your thread scared the crap out of me!!!!!
 Hi MarkI was happily polishing the same table for the fifth time (as diversional therapy) teying not to think about my revision surgery in 11 days AND THEN..... I READ YOUR POST! Now I am pretty worried. Even though the info was great in explaining the ins and outs of revision surgery, the fact that I am one of the really problematic maverick keeled discs you talked about has got me shaking in my boots!!!! As an RN I know that there are Vascular risks with L5-S1 revision surgery but now I am more aware of why Australian Drs didn't want to take out my keeled disc. The Maverick comes with the largest keel. Lucky me!! Oh Well gotta look on the bright side, any change is good and as many of ISPINE people know the biggest fear when going in for surgery is not paralysis it is NO CHANGE, then the same crap just keeps going on with no light at the end of the tunnel. Keep your fingers crossed for me Mark, I may just be a great Maverick revision test-case afterall!

Man oh man, am I glad I found this site. Thanks Dr. J for posting this study. I originally found this on another forum, but it disappeared. Unfortunately for me, I am needing redo surgery and this topic is very close to my heart. Thanks Mark for providing such excellent information. It looks like I've come to the right place, you'll be hearing from me soon. Wow, I'm the 4th one here considering an ADR redo. I think that the outcomes for ADR are pretty good. We are the unlucky ones. I've been reading the forums a long time, but never post. I'm going back to lurk mode, but I just wanted to say thanks to Dr. J, Mark and everyone else that contributes. Sometimes I feel like I don't know enough and never feel like I have anything important to say.

AcheyBreaky,
What kind of artificial disc do you have? My revision surgery is scheduled for May 24th and I have charite. I hope you're not in as much of pain as I am. Hope you're doing well. Why are you considering doing a revision? Do you have problems with your facet joints? Was it the placement? Blair
