For whatever reason the European surgeons are willing to perform surgeries that their American colleagues are not. The question is, who's right? Good luck in deciding. Most ADR manufacturers publish retro and antero-listhesis limits under which their devices are expected to work.
That's good news about Dr Lauryssen's pending adoption of the M6. As he doesn't necessarily feel that it's a superior implant, did he suggest why he's going to set up shop overseas to begin implanting it? Is it strictly a financial decision?
Good luck, Jeff
