The effect of the X-Stop implantation on intervertebral foramen segmental spinal canal length and disc space in elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis

摘要

ObjectivesTo evaluate the biomechanical effect of the X-Stop device on the intervertebral foramen (IVF) and segmental spinal canal length (SSCL), as well as the intervertebral disc space at the implanted and the adjacent segments in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).
