I have done as much research as I can about Stenum to Dr. B. and Pro Disc C to M6. I have talked to several cervical patients from both and seems everyone is doing great.
I know more about this stuff than I care to. However, with that said I was doing just a little more digging before I take a "leap of faith."

"I'M BACK" droping 25' cliffs on 55deg slopes I had some really good wipeouts at Christmas I did a head plant earning me 7 stitches in my lip. What I realize is that my implants are very durable " They can take a licking" I still feel great I'm ready for more. If I had been fused my head would have broken off. On another note the FDA is clueless they are broken like the rest of our government. I'm presently in the appeals proccess with my insurance to be reimbursed for my out of pocket expence of the surgery.I'll keep posting any questions please feel free to contact me. Hello I was asked some questions.Answers: (1) My disc are the Spinal Kinetics M6 (2) I had levels c5-c6 c6-c7 replaced (2) (3) Regarding the fusion option they wanted to fuse c6-c7 c5-c6 and c4-c5 the reason the U.S. docs wanted to include c4-c5 aswell is becouse of the added stress of fusion. The German docs felt that c4-c5 level was not in bad enough shape to replace with a Adisc. (4) The cost was 27,000eu included everything and hotelsI just had to pay for flights extra.If I had the fusion option here in the U.S. it was estimated around $150.000.00 GO FIGURE Here is the link... ADR or ACDF Im sold on this.... Is it 2 good two be True? He had a 2 level..
