Summary

IntraSPINE® is a novel device that, unlike interspinous positioned implants, is unique in being placed more anteriorly in an interlaminar position, closer to the normal center of rotation of the motion segment. Mechanical advantages are thus conferred over more posteriorly positioned devices through the possibility of more physiological 'rocking' type movements in flexion and extension . This enables IntraSPINE® to off-load the facet joints in extension without blocking movement. Having a more anteriorly placed fulcrum also helps control excessive flexion movements by virtue of an improved lever arm in conjunction with an intact posterior tension band.

The underlying hypothesis of this work is that a clinical gain is achieved by adding an IntraSPINE® interlaminar device to discectomy in patients suffering from a lumbar disc herniation. This should result in an improvement in incapacity level and a reduction in pain.

Conditions

  • Disk Herniated Lumbar

Interventions

DEVICE

Insertion of INTRASPINE device

The surgical technique for excision of the disc hernia is the surgeon's usual technique: patient positioning (lying on his/her back or front or in the knee to chest position) the approach to the lumbar disc hernia (interlaminar or interspinous), closure and drainage of the operation site are performed by the surgeon's usual practice. IntraSPINE® is positioned once surgery for the disc hernia has been performed. The implant bed is prepared with the assistance of the distractor provided. The choice of implant size is made after positioning the trial device corresponding to the anatomical bed. Once the size has been established the corresponding implant is placed in a cup of physiological saline prior to implantation. Implantation is performed using the appropriate implant holder.

PROCEDURE

Discectomy

The surgical technique for excision of the disc hernia is the surgeon's usual technique: patient positioning (lying prone or supine or in the knee to chest position). The approach to the lumbar disc hernia (interlaminar or interspinous), closure and drainage of the operation site are performed using the surgeon's normal practice.
