Analysis of the Biomechanical Characteristics of the Spinal Interspinous Implants

چکیده
Spinal decompression surgery with spinal fusion is a widely used surgical procedure for the treatment of degenerative spine in the lumbar spine. However, it has been known that spinal decompression surgery causes the spinal instability. Some cadaveric and finite element (FE) studies have reported that adjacent segment degeneration may reduce adverse effects on the adjacent levels resulting from fusion by maintaining physiologic ROM as well as pressure. Therefore the interspinous implants have been recently used due to its advantages such as motion preserving and less subsidence of the implant to the osteoporotic bone.

Can a modified interspinous spacer prevent instability in axial rotation and lateral bending? A biomechanical in vitro study resulting in a new idea.
BACKGROUND Interspinous spacers are mainly used to treat lumbar spinal stenosis and facet arthrosis. Biomechanically, they stabilise in extension but do not compensate instability in axial rotation and lateral bending. It would therefore be desirable to have an interspinous spacer available, which provides for more stability also in these two planes. At the same time, the intervertebral disc sh...
متن کاملInterspinous Process Implants Causes Wear of the Spinous Processes in Patients Treated for Spinal Stenosis—An Experimental Biomechanical Study with Comparison to Clinical Cases
There are few biomechanical studies on Interspinous Process Implants (IPD); however none investigate the amount of wear on spinous processes. Therefore the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of repetitive loading of the IPD Aperius on the spinous processes in a biomechanical porcine model. For comparison, three patients treated surgically with the same device have been...
