I put in the search you suggested - this is the article that came up: Spine. 2006 Sep 1;31(19):2270-6. Evaluation of surgical volume and the early experience with lumbar total disc replacement as part of the investigational device exemption study of the Charité Artificial Disc. Thanks, I am pretty sure this is the one you are referring to. I'm not positive I have already read it, but I will now. It does echo what I have heard here and other places, about surgeon experience being the number one criteria, along with correct diagnosis, for determining outcome. But it's nice to have that backed up with data.
