Yes Thanks Harrison these are very good documents that we should use, they will help prove the argument that ADR is superior to fusion the so called gold standard. These will be of great use. That has been one of the insurance companies agruments that there is not enough info to prove that it is better. the second part of there excuse has been they do not know the long term effect. we should be able to get this from overseas data. The have been performing ADR there for 15 years, I think that should be considered long term data. Lets keep it coming folks, this is going to be a great project.
