    Default Freedom Lumbar vs Spinal Kinetics M6 Lumbar

    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?

    SN, this is a great question. Hopefully, some of the resident engineers will chime in soon. I hope you are doing well.
