The Freedom Lumbar disk outperformed all other disk.

The Freedom lumbar disk has completed the 5 year study and will hopfully get Fda approval soon. (later part of 201?)

The results for the Freedom disc look very promising. Not enough long term results, but still may be a good candidate to succeed the 1st generation tdrs. Note that here the Freedom was compared against all historical implants collectively, so it is not really "fair". It may still be better though.

Appendix 1 first case is a bit strange. I am surprised they did not do l4l5 as it is clearly degenerated. But maybe it did not cause symptoms for that particular patient.
