Research Article: Biomechanical characteristics of a novel interspinous distraction fusion device in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases: a finite element analysis

Date Published: 2023-12-06

Abstract:
A novel interspinous distraction fusion (ISDF) device has been used to treat lumbar degenerative diseases. As a minimally invasive technique, ISDF differs from the traditional interspinous process distraction devices. Currently, biomechanical studies on ISDF are rare.

Introduction:
Interspinous process distraction (IPD) is a minimally invasive technique that used in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) [1]. The interspinous spacer as acts shock-absorber, resulting in indirect decompression [2]. The use of IPD devices has previously been controversial owing to high recurrence and revision rates during long-term follow-up [3, 4]. However, in recent years IPD devices has been improved through developments in medical science and technology [5]. Several novel IPD devices have been…
