What is Artificial Disc Replacement ADR ?
----------------------------------------- This is when the natural disc in your spine has been replaced by a Prosthesis which takes the place of your natural disc and it is able to move as you natural one did. This operation is done from the front, as your discs are at the front of your spine It recovers "Body Height" also. What is Dynesys? ----------------- Dynesys is the relieving of the pressure on certain discs by the use of plastic surgical spacers through which runs a chord, it also is used for stabilising spines in certain conditions. These are attached to your spine and attached at the back by drilling into your spine vertebrae.In certain cases you might recover some height. a link is here http://www.neurosurgery.pitt.edu/new...f/2003fall.pdf The Dynesys clinical trials in the USA are here
