the new implant that is in the end of the FDA study is the AxioMed Freedom Lumbar Disc. the FDA is running the study comparing the Prodisc L against it. 2016 is what i heard the study will be finished. the AFLD works identical to the SK M-6 except it is all one piece. I talked to Dr. Pettine, and he wants to use a Coflex on my L5-S1. since it looks bad, herniated and pressing on the left sciatic nerve, it hardly ever bothers me. so i'm waiting to see what happens with this study. like the M-6, the FLD has a cervical counter part, that isn't in a study yet.
