High failure rate of the interspinous distraction device (X-Stop) for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis caused by degenerative spondylolisthesis discuss this article 1 Comment
Source: European Spine Journal Category: Orthopaedics
Latest Comment by Kai Lee - October 6, 2007: I have 2 comments:
1. 6 out of 8 patients in a small personal series were more than one levels. May be some of the failed patients require the x-stop in more than one level.
2. The abstract did not mention the outcome with the decompression and fusion nor the complication rate. Assuming the result is 100% successful, the author was still able to prevent the need for decompression and fusion in 5 out of 12 patients. It would be helpful if we can compare x-stop with the results of decompression and fusion.
