Post-Spine Summit update: Our presentation with Domagoj Coric, MD* on the"7-year Outcomes for Single-Level Total Disc Replacement with a Novel Viscoelastic Artificial Cervical Disc" and the M6-C™ Artificial Cervical Disc was a success!

Many attended to learn more about the M6-C, a next-generation artificial disc developed to replace an intervertebral disc damaged by cervical disc degeneration and designed to restore motion to the spine -- and an alternative to cervical fusion.

But ICYMI, Dr. Coric shared 7-year data showing that the M6-C disc produced statistically significant benefits, including:

🌟 Retained decreases in disability
🌟 Reduction in shoulder/arm pain and
🌟 One of the lowest subsequent surgical intervention rates as compared to other FDA-approved artificial cervical discs

Stay tuned for more updates as we follow up on those studied through ten years post-op!

Today, we announced the publication of the five-year results from the U.S. clinical study comparing the M6-C™ artificial cervical disc with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

Published in The Spine Journal, the study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the M6-C artificial cervical disc compared to ACDF for the treatment of single-level symptomatic cervical radiculopathy with or without cord compression. The study found that patients treated with the M6-C disc demonstrated superior clinical success at 60 months compared to ACDF patients. Secondary findings indicated significant improvements in neck and arm pain, function, and quality of life scores.

This publication coincides with reaching the milestone of more than 100,000 implantations of the M6-C artificial cervical disc and the M6-L artificial lumbar disc (only available outside the U.S.) performed worldwide since the product’s introduction in 2006.

“To date, there have been more than 100,000 implantations of M6 artificial disc technology in 20 countries around the world,” said Kevin Kenny, President of Orthofix Global Spine. “We are proud of this life-changing technology that has helped so many people get back to enjoying their lives.”

The M6-C artificial cervical disc is a next-generation artificial disc developed to replace an intervertebral disc damaged by cervical disc degeneration and designed to restore motion to the spine and is an alternative to cervical fusion.

Vertebral discs are the unsung heroes of our spine, providing us with flexibility and movement. However, they can degenerate over time, causing pain and reduced mobility.

The M6-C™ artificial cervical disc is a unique product designed to mimic your spine’s natural disc structure and movement, including all six degrees of freedom: lateral bending, lateral translation, anterior/posterior translation, flexion/extension, axial compression, and axial rotation. In addition, the M6-C disc is the only disc designed with a gel nucleus and fiber annulus that replicates the controlled range of movement and cushioning effect of the natural disc.
