Seems like most of the failed ADRs or revision surgeries that I've read about (at least on forums) have gone to fusion within a relatively short period of time. Guess with trial information in the states maybe we'll know in 20 years time how the population did with long term ADR implants or if there were significant # of revisions done in this population.

I have some thoracic twinges sometimes around T7 where I have a degree of scoliosis and my OSS has said would be the next disc level to bulge tho instead it was my cervical area(in a very symptomatic way) and I've been rather afraid of upsetting my spinal structural applecart with more spine surgery as I think after all this time all surrounding structures have adapted and I function better with less pain.

Not to mention everything WC (low back) is a royal pain to deal with.
