I've discussed this with Bertagnoli and he has done ADR at C7-T1. However, it is not easy and not always possible. If you would consider ADR at that level, please go with someone who already knows how to do it.

A single-level cervical fusion is a good operation with good results. I'd still choose ADR over fusion if I'm a good candidate.
