The numerous bone spurs sounds as if no bone wax was applied on the posterior rim which for the cervical is a no no. Unless R-L did apply it and they formed anyway?
What specifically did Spinal Kinetics do to their device in the intervening 2 year period to strengthen them from their first gen iterations? Anyone know? Weird that metal would crack off. That sounds awful. I'm glad you're getting this revised!
Try to get the doctor to keep the M6Cs once removed for observational purposes.
