My doctor told me that a general surgeon comes and opens you up from the front and then when he reaches the spine, the ortho doc takes over.
I just assumed they would go in from the backside? Do all docs enter from the front for the ADR?

ADR is an anterior approach - -- loads about this in the FAQ`s and you can see a surgery being done on the web

Take a look at the back of the vertebral column and you can see why they do an anterior approach.

Lets see how many of those have been done before we get excited. Its still a Anterior/lateral approach if you see a surgery on the web at best.
