Bunz, I know a person who works with my hubby that had the artificial disc done with dr. Dang at hotel dieu. He had a one level disc replacement last November and is doing great. I asked dr. Jhawar about it before my surgery and he doesn't perform them. So there is still controversy in our area, but it is being done. My dr. thought the tried and true ACDF was my best route, but they are being done here in Ontario. Interesting to see how different drs vary their opinion, even in the same office.
