Allan... I don't know why you say one level must be fused. I wrote about this on the NASS blog yesterday... very exciting technology... the concept is great, the hardware looks good, but it's still very early... no human implantations until Q2 or later next year.

No requirement for fusion... just the need for disc replacement and expendable facets... maybe facets too bad for ADR???
