Hi John,
opinions on ProdiscC vs M6
I have a Prodisc C at C6/7 that was done in 09/2009 here in Tampa, FL. It is misaligned and too small. I had more issues at the C5/6 level but it was not addressed.....after 2 years (of misery) I underwent surgery with Dr/Mr Boeree and I thank God every single day I have an M6 at the second level. The alignment is perfect, and the mechanics of this adr closely emulate a real disc vs. the prodisc.
The large keels of the Prodisc C may cause problems - and I know if I had it to do over, I would have only M6;S. I also would never put more than one prodisc in as I was informed by Mr. Boeree that it could cause the spine to split. I am not trying to frighten you, but let you know what I have uncovered and lived thru.
I wish you safety and a pain free future,
Christine
