    Justin, that is quite the coup! And what a chance to gather information for our first annual get-together just a few weeks later!

    Is there any way to get a copy of relevant PP Presentations and be able to show those of us who are coming to that? Or any other handouts, etc.??? You are definitely going to be well travelled by then Click here to enlarge

    Perhaps there will be something that we can list here as well for education.
    Moderate compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6
    Moderate & severe herniation and compression at L3/4 to L5/S1
    Hybrid surgery (fusion & ADR) of all above levels postponed because of severe allergy to most metals used in hardware.
    Update Jan/2010: Dr. Pimenta (Brazil) offering surgery: ceramic & poly cervical ADR plus PEEK fusion of lumbar levels.
