Clinical Applications - Degenerative Spondylolisthesis

Stabilization in conjunction with decompression for degenerative spondylolisthesis with lumbar spinal stenosis

For patients suffering from degenerative spondylolisthesis with stenosis, the LimiFlex is used together with decompression to:

  • decrease post-decompression sagittal plane instability
  • reduce translational instability
  • enhance sagittal balance

Click here to see how the LimiFlex is used to stabilize with
decompression for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis:

The LimiFlex Spinal Stabilization System is compatible with multiple types of spinous process sparing decompression for patients suffering from degenerative spondylolisthesis with stenosis.

(bilateral laminotomy with partial medial
facetectomy, foraminotomy. Spinous
processes left intact)
Midline
(resection of up to half of the spinous process
above and below, and bilateral medial
facetectomy and foraminotomy)
