Hey Cat,
You may want to consider some of the other facilities/surgeons in Germany that are extremely noteworthy, such as Dr.Zeegers/Alpha-Klinik and Dr.Bertagnoli ~ there's info on them somewhere hear I believe if you do a search.
I hear a great deal about Dr.Bertagnoli working with patients that have varying presentations and previous fusion being one such, and/or revision surgeries.
I've just had a hybrid surgery approved here by WC~ fusion at L5S1 and ADR at L4 and quite honestly I'm not certain whether a one level ADR can be done above a previously fused level here in US or not yet or is approved by insurance companies or if ADR is FDA approved to use with previously fused levels (tho if now approved to use in combo with fusion..why not?)...
I'll be in Fla. as of Friday night so if you'd like to call me please feel free.. not sure if you have my phone #'s or not?
take care, hope your tears are dried for now..Maria
