Cheryl, do you mean 1-level fusion will most likely lead to adjacent level issues? If you do, please back it up with some evidence? From what I know from years of reading and self-studying, this is quite an overstatement. Possible contra-indication of ADR is far more significant risk than fusion leading to ASD.
