Lumbar TDR – is It Time?
I recently read some updates on lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR) and have to admit that I was skeptical as to the history behind the elusive lumbar disc replacement and all of the problems associated with the FDA and discs in the mid-2000’s.

Please read this recent article I found in Healio Spine News about new statistics pointing towards a safe alternative.
