With the approval of single level Prodisc U.S. usage (probably within the next month), I just realized that I actually do have another choice.

a. Wait for Y months for multi-level Prodisc approval and go with that.

b. Wait for Y months for multi-level Prodisc approval, and hope that Activ-L / Prodisc study is really multi-level.

c. Prodisc @L4-L5 and fusion at L5-S1.

As I recall, fusing L5-S1 isn't horribly bad, since L5-S1 doesn't have that much range of motion to begin with.

Anyone have any more input / thoughts? Obviously, I am really tired of waiting, but if option (a or b) is a better choice than option (c), then I really should consider being patient (maybe wait 6 months, for example).

I do have a dr's appointment next month, and I am presuming he is going to present me with that option, since we didn't discuss it last time.

Thanks.

David
