A Morphometric Study of the Lumbar Interspinous Space in 100 Stanford University Medical Center Patients

摘要

ObjectiveWith the increased use of interspinous spacers in the treatment of lumbar stenosis, knowledge of the geometry of the interspinous space is important. To prevent dislodgment of an interspinous spacer, the accurate depth and width of the interspinous space needs to be established to facilitate the best intraoperative selection of correct spacer size.
