I put on M6 vs Prodisc Lumbar

[laid up doc]

synthes sees the writing on the wall, now that there is a lot of use of the M6 in Europe w/ a lot of good outcomes...

where did you see that spinal kinetics countersued? last i heard, SK was moving to Germany to be able to make the M6 available in countries where the country has to be located in the nation where they have approval for the device? ie, had to move from CA?

I am in the US so my choices here are limited and my MD here only uses rhe Prodisc L which maybe the best choice. It just makes me unsure when he doesn 't have the ability to consider any other disc due to our FDA regulations.

Also I have seen severalosts avout nickel allergies and the prodisc. I am hoghly allergic and when I asked the German MD was told not a problem. I haben't talked with my US MD about it yet because I didn't know to ask the question but I will mext week. This forum is a great place to get answers but also makes you think of things too.

Good luck on yours are you planning on US or overseas?

I would get a M6 find the money, i have a prodisc and they dont work most of the time. 8.7% revisions, 33% facet increase arthosis. Just want people to have a GOOD outcome. I have A prodisc not fun when its not working with all that hypermoblity. M6 is constrained disc that alone is bettter.
