Failure Analysis Presence of a marked discal bulging stenosisassociated: In 2 cases the implant caused a large discalerniation requiring implant removal and a new surgeryfor microdiscectomy.
Failures: Listhesis: one patient out of 4 w<strong>it</strong>h apparently mobiledegenerative listhesis, showed a worsening of theamount of shifting and requested new surgery toremove the device and stabilize the spine.
Failures: Osteoporosis: Risk of spinal process fracture.
Failures: Oversized Device: Risk of spinal processfracture.
Conclusions Surgical duration from 15 to 20 min. Low risk. Osp<strong>it</strong>alization time reduced at 24-48 h. High patient satisfaction since the immediatepostoperative phase.
Effectivness of interspinous implant surgery in patient w<strong>it</strong>hinterm<strong>it</strong>tent neurogenic claudication: a systematic review and metaanalysis.Moojen WA, Arts MP, Bartels RH, Jacobs WC, Peul WC.Eur Spine J. 2011 Oct;20(10): 1596-606.C<strong>it</strong>ation: “ Furthermore, no data is presently availablecomparing interspinous process decompression w<strong>it</strong>h standardbony decompression. We suggest that more studies will bedone on this subject comparing the surgical treatment w<strong>it</strong>hIPD versus bony decompression. Desp<strong>it</strong>e the fact that wecould give a Grade A recommendation, according to theOxford-Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, we suggest thatfurther studies have to be performed before a thoroughtrecommendation can be given regarding the treatment ofINC w<strong>it</strong>h IPDs (82).These studies should also include analysis on complicationrate and device failure rate.
