Hi everyone! Freedom Disc/ ActivL?
Hi! I'm a 36 year old female with a re-herniated L5/S1 disc. My surgeon gave the options of a 2nd microdisectomy or a fusion. He said he is not a fan of the ADR's due to the anterior approach. So, I am making an appt with a local neurosurgeon that has more experience with them. I was looking at the AcivL but last night I stumbled upon the Freedom disc. It looks very promising. Everything says it will be approved by the FDA in 2018 but as far as I can tell it hasn't been approved yet.
