Fusion vs ADR
I've been told that I need a 3 level cervical fusion and told I need to do it as soon as possible to avoid potential permanent nerve damage, and not regain current lost use of my left arm. I was surprised to see Mark's post about sometimes needing fusion instead of ADR. When is this the case? From what I've read, it seems that ADR is always preferable. My surgeon is "annoyed" that I cancelled the fusion surgery scheduled for September 7th and just gave me a hard sell this morning in his office. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Jim
