I've seen Dr.Delamarter and am in fact scheduled to have a Prodisc implant at L4 and fusion at L5S1. I believe he made arguement for it because of some changes at the facets but also maybe because WC would auth this procedure and it's considered to be viable for that level. I don't want hardware use tho...

I saw Dr.Regan in the same day, and as I recall he pretty much thought I could have either fusion or Prodisc at L5S1, didn't really make much of the facet findings...

I've not heard the multi-level prob theory via Dr.Delamarter upon consultation however maybe that's a newer train of thought than when I was last seen.

Would be interesting to hear if indeed he does think what was stated, and if so, why (data/followup leaning in this direction ?)??
