Synopsis

Effective leg pain responder rate and pain severity have been previously demonstrated In patients implanted with an Interspinous Spacer out to 12-months post-operation. This is a consecutive, multi-center, case-series based on retrospective chart review as part of an on-going, real-world evaluation of Indirect Decompression Systems (IDS) outcomes for lumbar spinal stenosis. Patients reported a mean NRS pain score 9.4 ± 0.5 prior to IDS implant, and a 5.4-point improvement (p<0.0001, n = 41) was reported at last follow-up (mean = 115 days). The preliminary evidence derived from this on-going, real-world observational case-series aligns so far with other published reports.</p>
