But the benefit of having a new device like Activ-L in the US is to use US doctors with US insurance. And most of those doctors are starting from scratch with experience with a "new (to US)" device and new surgical protocol. Hence my comment about not wanting to be the first person to sign up.
International surgery is clearly a different conversation and process maturity and surgeon experience are not the risk factors I'm concerned about there.
Just my opinion. And my opinion is subject to wild fluctuations depending on how my back feels on a given day.
