Second lumbar ADR surgery 7 years later. Artificial Disc Replacement by ENANDE and Dr. Ritter-Lang

[@Stanley_Ellis]

I had S1-L5 replaced in 2005 and L5-L4 and L4-L3 replaced in 2016. 3 levels all together. I’m in terrible pain again. They are considering to fuse it all. The M6 has the reputation of leaning to one side, correcting it in the next segment, thus creating scoliosis. In your case, the middle disc leans to one side, the next one up tries to correct it. Thank you.

Have you have S1-L3 replaced with M6？

I am looking into this surgery. Sounds good. I am 65 and I want to ski the Rockies again some day. Very encouraging OJ.

I wish I had known

I would love to talk to O.J!!! I know this is my only option.... please let me know how to reach out to him!

[@jumanjiwarlord]

I heard MRIs are compromised after an implant. What kind of imagery was used to determine the status for the second procedure?

A CT scan

[@arturcuryllo5832]

I connected with Art Beverleigh (thank you for that connection) and started my process with Sue Hart. Is there any chance you could ask OJ for 15 minutes on the phone with me? Understandably, I am a little nervous, but I will most likely end up having the surgery on L5S1 and I just want to hear from another source. Both OJ and Art are active people like me so these are great parallels for me to consider in the process. Thanks!

Hi Artur! Go through Sue for that. OJ is a great guy, and I suspect he would be happy to talk with you.

I'm considering this procedure. Sue is wonderful. I'm disabled and broke. So I likely go with balanced back. Operation is done in Caymans. Did you go through with this ?

Can you have this surgery if one had facetal arthopathy ?

[@brijeshrudani1764]

Fusion will Be better option if you have facet arthopathy
