M6
I received an email, reply, someone that had an M6 at the L5-S1, this preserved motion to the rest of the lumbar, think about it, if this one degenerates, then it will cause the next higher to degenerate, and then have problems even higher up.
I know, this is what happened to me.
Will have another evaluation on 3 March, but this will most likely be a fusion or possibly a first or second generation all metal and plastic disc.
Have had a recommendation from Bierstedt, and may end up pushing this to the insurance.
I tried another avenue, this did not pan out.
Personally, go with the M6 and someone that has done many, Boree(sp?) or Bierstedt.
If I could only do one (and this may be what I do) it would be the L5-1.
