U just beat me to it Liz.
This ADR has the added benifit of the anterior and posterior ligaments remaining uncut which may e of huge benifits.
There have been trials with it already so there must be some info available on the results. Im pretty sure its also been reported on at the spine conferences as well so hopefully something will be available soon to help patients before any trials happens in the US.
Looks promising anyway
