Been reading through the German spinal forum and, low and behold, they have all the same issues we have: what clinic to go to, whether to have a fusion vs. ADR, lack of communication with their doctor, etc etc. They seem less concerned with the type of device. Also, very interestingly I have read a few posts that say that they will generally not perform ADRs past age 45?!
