Questions:

1. If Vetebroplasty is used with ADR surgey and there is some complication that requires the ADR ro be removed - can it be removed if it's cemented in?

2. Is there a bone density test that measures bone density below Lumber : L-4?

3. For ADR Clinical Trials in the US the cut off point for disqualification from bone density issues is a T score of -2.5. Does a bone density T score of less than -2.5 guarantee that the bone is strong enough to hold an ADR? Could low bone density at the adjacent levels from an ADR cause subsidence?

Thank you
