LBP,
I am on the Keniflex/Charite study. At the time I really did need a two level. My surgeon and did speak about this and the study was for only one. He put himself out on limb and decieded to replace the worset disc which was L5-S1. The disc was totally discenagraded. We were hoping that L4-L5 would be ok.
About six months after the ADR, L4-L5 started acting up. I have not had any problems with the Keniflex disc. My opinion that this ADR is fantastic and if I could I would love to have another one.
Does this answer your question LBP. I will change my signture.
