List of ADR Surgeons As I have reviewed SPS posts, I have seen individual references to multiple ADR surgeons around the world. I could not locate a consolidated list, but may have missed it, given my newness to the SPS. If such a list already exists, please ignore this post and aim me in the right direction. If such a list does not exist, then I would like to start one. My starting list is biased, since I am focused on cervical disc replacement and non U.S. surgeons due to my interest in the M6 disc. However, we should include all surgeons, all disc locations, and all disc manufacturers to benefit every patient. I was just listing the name, location, and web site to keep the list simple and concise to start with. Eventually, the number of discs implanted and disc models used would probably be helpful information to include. Thanks for everyone's help. The SPS has already been of tremendous benefit to my search for a solution.
Thanks,
Phil
