His (Dr. Rosen's) two problems with the Charite, hardness and motion, are the same problems that any artifical disc or surgical fusion will have. I'm not a Charite proponent. I had one inserted in 2003. Even with perfect placement it is a failed surgery.
I agree with his conclusions that the Charite should be withdrawn from the market. I also don't doubt FDA corruption and incompetence that resulted in the flawed approval study and continues to keep data hidden.
