I don't see any information on the Maverick disc on their site. Does anyone know why this is? I saw that there was some lawsuit by Synthes (I think), last summer, related to the Maverick disc. Could this be why, or is it that the disc isn't being used in the US?

I was trying to find some information on the Maverick disc, to do some comparison's between that, the Prodisc and Activ-L disc. I think I might have some research article at home making some comparison, but I'm not sure.

So, if anyone has information that compares the different lumbar discs, I'd love to know about it.
