    The ADR in the cervical spine can reduce the chances of adjacent segment disease (ASD) by a very small percentage as compared to the ACDF. The problem with the ADR is it has to be implanted only if the disc space is 50% or greater than the original disc, there cannot be instability or degenerative facet disease present. It is always a better indication to implant for arm pain (foraminal stenosis or HNP) than for neck pain or deformity. I would not implant if there is significant central canal stenosis (unless from a disc herniation).

    **This product not get good results just small percentage (what is small percentage)
    And what a bout facet u didn’t give me answers (but o know its need to protect the spinal canal from posterior (vertebral body )and back from facet (BONE SPURS arthritis.
