Decompression and Coflex Interlaminar Stabilization Compared With Decompression and Instrumented Spinal Fusion for Spinal Stenosis and Low-Grade Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Two-Year Results From the Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter, Food and Drug Administration
Investigational Device Exemption Trial Reginald J. Davis MD , Thomas J. Errico MD, Hyun Bae MD and Joshua D. Auerbach MD
2012
Prospective, randomized, multicenter Level 1 clinical study of decompression + posterior fusion vs. decompression and coflexT on 1-2 levels.
Shows that direct decompression and interlaminar stabilization proved equivalent or superior to laminectomy and posterior spinal fusion at 2 years in the treatment of spinal stenosis with back pain or degenerative spondylolisthesis.
