 Blair,I'm not seriously considering fusing at L5S1 yet but I've thought about it enough to conclude I'd rather have the adr removed.  I get the impression that not many docs want to mess with the situation.  If they do it's easier and less risky from their perspective to fuse the ADR in-place.  If you can get an outstanding surgeon like Dr. Regan to take on the challenge that's the way to go.  I can't recall anyone on these forums having the Charite fused.
