Comparison of new devices to the M6
I will have to take a look at this on the computer vs on my phone, but I want to see end plate size comparisons between the M6 and others.
Having the option with any particular surgeon to use a disc replacement that offers a bigger end plate coverage than another is important. There are so many factors to consider when choosing an ADR, but to me it's knowing your surgeon has options and is not bound to one particular device.
