Does anyone have any idea when the Maverick will get FDA approval, looking at the different discs , as I am planning on having the sugery very soon. The maverick seems to have the best right up as the metal on metal design did not show any wear in 31.5years of testing , and its design does not cause any extra load to the facet joints, this is far superior compared to the Charite or the prodisc which uses a polyethelene core which will wear , and the design will cause facet loading. Any information would be appreciated.
