Smile ADR Cervical Devices: Current Status

Hi Fellow ADR seekers:

As a cervie this is cervical ADR biased.

Of general interest to prospective ADR patients is the performance of ADR's currently being implanted, and the designs in the pipeline.

Getting performance statistics on any of these devices is well nye impossible.

Even getting a gloss on the upcoming device designs, some of which are listed here, is impossible.

How does a prospective ADR recipient get the most complete picture of what they're facing vis a vis potential device implantation?

Devices tracked down so far.

ADR Cervical Devices: Current Status.

Performance of:
* Advent Cervical Disc
* PCM
* Prestige
* Maverick
* Mobi-C
* Prodisc-C
* NeoDisc
* Discover Cervical Disc


Info on: Lumbar-Centric:
* Dynardi Artificial Lumbar Disc
* Regan pryrocarbon artificial disk for the lumbar spine (is the Regan referred to: John Regan: of Beverly Hills/PCM?)


OTHER:
Ceramic technology?
Intervertebral disk tissue engineering (not GENETIC ENGINEERING)

Statistical info Re: Cervical Facet Joints Pre/Post ADR.

Are some design's better than others?

Good luck.
