what I hear Drew saying is...
Some tend to go at post op like they never had surgery and over work their necks to much. ADR's are artificially strong; probably stronger than a real disc, but that doesn't mean you should push it to the max. We have someone here that just had the axiomed freedom disc go bad after 8 months. 2 M6's surgeries out of the 30 thousand implanted is good numbers. Dr. Clavel also has access to the Baguera disc too. I feel that he truly does believe the M6 is the best. But he's open to using others if needed.
