Posterior Dynamic Stabilization: The Interspinous Spacer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neurogenic claudication was first related to lumbar stenosis (Verbiest H, 1954). Since, decompressive surgery was indicated in patients who failed to respond to conservative therapy. It is followed by posterior fusion in cases where the motion segment showed instability or in case where a secondary instability is expected to develop after surgery. However, while many patients have benefited from fusion procedures, successful fusion has not always been accompanied by clinical improvement (Adelt D et.al, 2007)

The Interspinous Spacer: A New Posterior Dynamic Stabilization Concept for Prevention of Adjacent Segment Disease
Introduction. Posterior Dynamic stabilization using the interspinous spacer device is a known to be used as an alternative to rigid fusion in neurogenic claudication patients in the absence of macro instability. Actually, it plays an important in the management of adjacent segment disease in previously fused lumbar spine. Materials and Method. We report our experience with posterior dynamic sta...

متن کاملThe cost effectiveness of dynamic and static interspinous spacer for lumbar spinal stenosis compared with laminectomy
Background: The present study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Dynamic Interspinous Spacer (Coflex®) and Static Spacer (X-STOP ®) compared to Laminectomy (LAMI) in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: A decision-analysis model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness. The effectiveness parameters were obtained from a systematic literature review in ...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of an interspinous device and a rigid stabilization on lumbar adjacent segment range of motion.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Decompression surgery with or without fusion is the gold standard treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis, but adjacent segment degeneration has been reported as a long-term complication after fusion. This led to the development of dynamic implants like the interspinous devices. They are supposed to limit extension and expand the spinal canal at the symptomatic level, but with ...
متن کاملPosterior vertebral arch cement augmentation (spinoplasty) to prevent fracture of spinous processes after interspinous spacer implant.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Interspinous spacers are implanted to treat symptomatic lumbar stenosis. Posterior vertebral element fractures can occur during or after interspinous spacer implants, especially in patients with osteopenia. The purpose of our study was to assess the biomechanical rationale, safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of posterior vertebral arch cement augmentation (spinoplasty...
