Default Something New For Lumbar Stenosis

Superion® Interspinous Spacer Clinical Trial

This looks like a good thing in that it seems reversible and surgeon proof. It's in clinical trials so don't hold you breath. You can see about getting in a clinical trial.



It is far less disruptive than an ADR and it looks like a monkey could install it.

Nothing new...

From preliminary experience in Croatia, Coflex gives better results than Superion. Coflex also has more wide indication than Superion.

From some of the studies I ran into, Coflex is rated as one of the best interspinous implants.

Default Coflex

Hi All

I have two Coflex F implants in my spine six months out and still dealing with issues, But upper levels are not so good need to find out whats going on ?

It seems to be scar tissue, SI joint , L2-L3 degenerated, etc. Bad Surgeon?
