I saw the previous posting about axial interbody fusion, does any one have a name in Victoria, Australia as it is difficult to see a surgeon without knowing the name. This is not advertising for doctors, but just information sharing. Please help out. Thanks. Ko

Whether doctors in Australia have been trained in the technique, I do not know.
