News - Is costlier spinal surgery worth it?

[Crystal33]

Maybe the high level of poor long term results from existing ADR technology (above) may be largely resolved in future with introduction of new generation of bio design ADR's such as M6. I hope so.
November 4, 2009....."Stenum Hospital announced the successful rollout of the first international patients to receive the Spinal Kinetics M6-L artificial lumbar disc, and the commencement of the implants full availability at the clinic. Four American patients received M6-L implants, one single level, two double level, and one three level intervention, 8 total implants. All patients are doing well."
