A few weeks ago,  Anne Marie Tiernon - news anchor with WTHR, interviewed me about the recent FDA-approval of the Bryan™ Cervical Disc.  This story aired on June 9, and here is the link to this story. 

As mentioned in previous blogs, I have been involved in the clinical trials for this device, and implanted the first Bryan Cervical Disc in the United States.  This procedure was done at St.Vincent Hospital, and was performed with Kenneth Renkens, MD.  Dr. Renkens is a neurosurgical spine surgeon, also with Indiana Spine Group.  

Additionally, cervical arthroplasty patient Kevin Wacasey was interviewed in this story.  Kevin received the first Cervical Disc in the United States in 2002.  Today, he is doing great!  He enjoys spending time with his teenage son, golfing, fishing and other hobbies.
