This is a discussion on Freedom Lumbar vs Spinal Kinetics M6 Lumbar within the Emerging Spine Surgery Technologies forums, part of the Spine Surgery Support category; Anybody have any thoughts on the comparison b/w the freedom lumbar and spinal kinetics m6 lumbar? I am no engineer ...
Anybody have any thoughts on the comparison b/w the freedom lumbar and spinal kinetics m6 lumbar? I am no engineer but to me the freedom looks like it would more likely last a true "50" years or plus than the m6 lumbar design with the artificial anulus thing. Maybe I am wrong though, any thoughts?
