Nucore, Dascor, and Nudisc

[Wilbur]

I have DDD at L5-S1, and was scheduled for disc replacement this summer, until I got a bone density T-score of -2.2, which is osteopenia. I cancelled until I could figure out what it all meant. I'm back on track for some kind of surgery, and have in the meantime found out about clinical trials for nucleus replacement surgeries. Can anyone tell me what they know about Nucore, Dascor, and/or Nudisc? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Look up artificial disc replacement on WebMD. It talks about all these, and I don't think any of those are available in the US right now. I may be wrong.
