interspinous process implantation for the treatment of neurogenic intermittent claudication

results compared to pre-op scores, pf, ss, and vas scores for back, buttock and leg pain had a significant mean decrease at 6, 12, 24 months post-op (p < 0.05). based on the zcq and vas scores, a success rate of 79% (27.34), 78% (30.38) and 74% (17.23) were achieved at six months, 12 months, and 24 months respectively. conclusions x-stop is a safe and effective treatment for nic that provides m...

Interspinous Process Implantation for the Treatment of Neurogenic Intermittent Claudication

BACKGROUND Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a disabling medical condition in which narrowing of the spinal canal compresses the spinal cord and nerves causing a condition called neurogenic intermittent claudication (NIC). Decompressive spine surgery is the standard of care for patients who fail to improve with conservative management. However, oftentimes, patients who suffer from LSS are elderly...
