The subjects enrolled in this study were 122 consecutive patients who visited the spine clinic of our hospital between January and June 2001 and who were diagnosed as having lumbar spinal canal stenosis (89 patients; 27 patients had the central type, 15 had the lateral type, and 47 had both lateral and central types), lumbar spondylolisthesis (21 patients), or lumbar degenerative scoliosis (12 patients). The LP Screw adds valuable flexibility to the Easyspine Pedicle Screw System allowing 70 of movement in all planes, while simplifying spondylolisthesis reduction and offset screw placement. Gaining optimal control of these muscles before progressing to higher-intensity functional exercises was fundamental to the management of our patient with LDHR and has been shown to be effective in an RCT involving patients with spondylolisthesis. |
