FYI, my neurosurgeon said 55 was the oldest he would consider for ADR and that was only if there were no complicating facet pathologies.

What was the logic for not doing ADR on patients older than 55? I have not heard that before.

I too am concerned about ADR since I do have facet arthritis. I know doctors are doing ADR in many cases if the facet arthropathy is mild.
