Reply With QuoteThe only two level ADR trial I've ever seen was for Cervical replacement. I think it was the Medtronic Prestige disc. I'm not sure if it is ongoing as it has been a few years since I surfed the FDA site.
Good luck,

Clinical Two level ADR?? I'm wondering if anyone has come across a clinical trial for two level Lumbar ADR ? I have been doing alot of research and have seen one level Lumbar ADR clinical trials.Unfortunately I have two levels. I know it's possible to have two levels if your willing to pay but the expense would be high.Thanks for any feedback on this subject.

Re: Clinical Two level ADR?? Thanks Justin !! I will give it a look and see what I can find.So far I'm only coming up with single level ADR's but it only
takes one. I'm just really surprised that there are many surgeries being prefomed on 2-3 levels with ADR devices.You would think there would be trials to follow that trend.
Thanks again for the information.:thumpup:
