Doc suggest 2 tier mobi-c to replace c4-c5, c5-c6. i think device too new, too risky. any safer method with higher success rate n around for longer?

Too New: As the mobi-c prosthesis just got fda approval not even one month ago, i would caution to wait to see some long term data regarding its success. Obviously that may not help you at this time for your condition. Regardless, if you are considering this or other options for surgery, you should seek out the opinion of at least 1-2 more spine surgeons before making a decision.

Adage: "don't be the first to try the new, but also not the last to cast aside the old". The tried & proven is a good way 2 go.
