Oh my I've heard of heard of 360 fusions, but not of mobility preservation. How's it going for you? I'm curious about whether or not I really need to be concerned about the retrolisthesis at all since I have two very different opinions about it. I wish seeing one of the big name surgeons was an option, but at the moment, I'm just left to choose between the ones on my insurance that are at least in my same state. Still waiting for insurance clearance on the ADR...and then I have to figure out whether I pull the trigger on that or opt for the regular fusion.
