Abstract

Intraspinous spacers have become an accepted minimally invasive method for treating Dynamic spinal canal stenosis. We present our experience using the INSPACE (Percutaenous Intraspinous spacer) in treating Dynamic canal stenosis in Kuwait. Material and method: Prospective study of 30 patients presenting with neurological claudication with dynamic canal stenosis on MRI. All patients were aged 50 +. IN-SPACE was used in these entire patients under fluoroscopy. Follow up was made at 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and some patients 6 months. VAS score was compared before and after procedure. Complications rate and patient satisfaction were noted. Results: > 70 % patients had significant improvement with no complications. We also describe the procedure.
