Also, when you say “if there is any instability or side, forward or backward movement of one vertebrae over another, it may disqualify a patient for ADR.” How exactly is that determined? Does the MRI show it? Is there another test I need to have performed?

Just trying to understand what sort of due diligence should be done prior to the surgery. When meeting with the surgeon who wanted to do the disc replacement, during the initial consult he said I’d be an excellent candidate for it. But I’m thinking, “how do you know I’m not allergic to the titanium” or something like that, you haven’t done any additional tests.
