MALDEN, Mass. (PRWEB)

Inspan is the first interspinous interlaminar spinous process fixation device to be FDA cleared for spinal stenosis and fusion. Harvard-Trained Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Dr. Erik Spayde sees a growing application for Inspan to be used in a single position lateral interbody cage with its ability to fixate the construct posteriorly.

“I’ve always been a big believer in interspinous fixation. The ease with which the Inspan instrumentation works makes it preferred over pedicle screws in some indications such as to back up an Anterior lumbar interbody fusion or a Lateral lumbar interbody fusion” said Dr. William Costigan, Board-Certified Orthopedic Spine Surgeon.

Dr. Joseph Aferzon & Dr. Jeffrey Bash together have performed over 700 Inspan cases supporting their anterior interbody fusion cases.

“This is much easier than placing pedicle screws and it allows for the surgeon to achieve posterior decompression and fusion for cases such as spondylolisthesis in which the lateral interbody cage may not be enough indirect decompression “ said Professor Kingsley R Chin MD, Harvard-Trained Board-Certified Orthopedic Spine Surgeon
