NFlex Dynamic Stabilization System : Two-Year Clinical Outcomes of Multi-Center Study.

Objective: Pedicle-based dynamic stabilization systems, in which semi-rigid rods or cords are used to restrict or control spinal segmental motion, aim to reduce or eliminate the drawbacks associated with rigid fusion. In this study, we analyzed the two-year clinical outcomes of patients treated with the NFlex (Synthes Spine, Inc.), a pedicle-based dynamic stabilization system.

Early Clinical & Radiographic Results of NFix II Posterior Dynamic Stabilization System.

Background: Complications associated with rigid posterior instrumented fusions of the lumbar spine include pseudarthrosis, accelerated adjacent-segment disease, hardware failure, and iatrogenic fixed sagittal imbalance. Posterior pedicle screw/rod-based dynamic stabilization systems, in which semirigid rods or cords are used to restrict or control, rather than completely eliminate spinal segmental motion, aim to reduce or eliminate these fusion-associated drawbacks. In this study, we analyzed the early radiographic and clinical outcomes of patients treated with the NFix II System (N Spine, Inc.
