Does anyone know the complete citation/ source for the following excerpt? I've conducted a search on the forum and looked through the posted articles and was unable to find this specific study.

Bertagnoli et al in 2006 reported follow-up two to five years after lumbar ProDisc replacements in a prospective study of 472 patients.

Thanks in advance,

Call prodisc they will send E-mail you complete copies of the reports.
I only have the cervical ones. They are very helpful.

For information that may assist you in obtaining medical coverage for total disc replacement surgery from your insurance company, please refer to the Reimbursement webpage or call the toll free ProDisc hotline (1-800-895-7764) Monday – Friday, 9 am - 8 pm (EST).
