DAnn,

What a small world. We used to live in Coppell, and we attended FBC Coppell from 1987 until very recently; as we'll be moving to the Richardson / Plano area in the next year.

Good luck reviewing devices. It is a staggering task. I am certainly not minimizing the selection of the prosthesis as I was absolutely adamant about the one I chose. As important as the right prosthesis is (you're probably right about it not being a one size fits all) all evidence suggest that the selection of the surgeon is the most important factor. Not only is that intuitive, I have seen many posters assert that opinion, and have seen research clinicians express it as well.

BTW: Though the study to which I've provided the above link concerns DDD in geriatric patients, at only four years younger than I, I do understand that you are most certainly nowhere near a "geriatrics" patient!

Please keep us posted, and good luck!

Jeff
