Abstract
Interspinous Distraction Devices, has this Lost its Place in Treatment Algorithm?
Highlights
Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis leading to neurogenic claudication is a common cause of lower back and leg pain
The traditional treatment for those that do not respond to conservative measures is surgical decompression with or without fixation
These positive results led to a significant increase in use of these devices for degenerative spinal stenosis and other associated conditions
Summary
Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis leading to neurogenic claudication is a common cause of lower back and leg pain. The traditional treatment for those that do not respond to conservative measures is surgical decompression with or without fixation. Interspinous distraction devices were developed to offer a minimally invasive alternative which can be performed percutaneously with fluoroscopic guidance under local or general anaesthesia.
