On the basis of the mechanism of action, we can make some Introduction considerations: Interspinous Posterior Devices (IPDs) are spinal implantable devices e IP Th Ds, as described by many authors, have stenosis as primary used to treat lumbar degenerative diseases, with lumbar stenosis as the surgical indication, with moderate intermittens claudication and\or main indication. They are defined as devices for dynamic stabilization, signs of radiculopathy which were resolved with the forward flexion of because their aim is to perform a decompression of the spinal canal the trunk. These authors emphasize also the re-tensioning of the yellow in case of stenosis, while preserving biomechanical properties of the TI - Current Status of Interspinous Posterior Devices in USA and Italy: Finally the Pandora’s Vase has been Uncovered JF - Journal of Spine DO - 10.4172/2165-7939.1000274 DA - 2015-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/current-status-of-interspinous-posterior-devices-in-usa-and-italy-G0ga0Gq5cX DP - DeepDyve ER -
