Hello; I am scheduled to have a TDR with Dr. Bertagnoli in Germany in a few months. It appears it will be the Pro-Disc L. The Orthopedic surgeon that performed hand surgery on me in the U.S has a Pro-Disc C in his neck. He stated that there are very good surgeons in the US that perform said surgeries, and to not go with the oldest TDR design nor the newest. I have checked here in the U.S. One surgeon associative of the Cleveland Clinic informed me that he has taken out as many TDR's as he has put in and that I was not a candidate for TDR, and that TDR is dangerous especially in regard to the arteries. Another surgeon recommended fusion. After long hours of research I decided on Dr. Bertagnoli in Germany. I guess when it is over I will know and post my results. Wish me luck...
