Thumbs up Adr / fusion?

Hello Fathub, that's great news on your surgery, I have been avoiding a three level fusion for years. Was told I am not a candidate for a 3 level ADR because my spine is in layman's terms "bent", too curved for ADR. Question in reference to your statement:
"I had S1-L3 - 3 level ADR and a mobility preservation (instead of a fusion) at L4/3 where I have Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis". Do you have three artficial
discs or just one at L3/4(mobility preservation)and fusion at S1-L5 and L4-L5? What do you mean by a "mobility preservation". Are you back to riding mountain bikes again , I used to ride desert, (motorcycles) miss it BAD.

Thanks you
