Choosing ADR or fusion

[ans]

Matt: given all the (perhaps rightful) criticisms of ADR/ProDisc, there have been some outstanding successes (and w/Charite). I wonder, given both of these ADR's shortcomings, what happens to make a sucessful ADR? I'm thinking of excellent placement, no pain relief from facet injections, etc. I hope I don't seem insensitive, I'm not. Maybe there's some factors that have not been fully recognized. (As I'm in the middle area of MRIs showing facet "arthroses", the nuances of this maze confuse me). With Regards ~ Allan
