Yes, both very low risk. Hard to say what best for Eichel without seeing him or his imaging. Historically fusion has been preferred for football/hockey players because of contact risk. Artificial disc is pushing the envelope to some degree, probably slightly higher risk, but doesn’t make it wrong. There’s no absolute single right answer unfortunately!
