DYNESYS DYNAMIC STABILIZATION SYSTEM

The Dynesys Dynamic Stabilization System is a new concept in the surgical treatment of lower back and leg pain.

This procedure helps to remove pressure from the nerves, reducing or eliminating the pain. In the past, the traditional procedure removed the affected discs and fused the vertebral segments together, eliminating movement and providing stability. It uses flexible materials to stabilize the spine and offers another approach to traditional fusion. It may be an option if your spine surgeon has recommended fusion surgery.

Spinal fusion surgery is generally recommended for treating chronic lower back pain and leg pain only after other non-surgical methods of treatment involving rest, ice or heat, weight control, exercise, physical therapy, medication and injections, etc. have failed to give relief. A surgical spinal fusion is used to restore the spine's alignment and the spacing between vertebrae.

The Dynesys System is a pedicle-screw fixation system, an implant device consisting of a spacer, cord and pedicle screw. It offers a unique approach to stabilization and mobilization of the spine and pain relief that relies on flexible materials and preserves much of the spinal anatomy. The system helps provide added stability and keeps the vertebrae in a more natural position than can be achieved with conventional surgery alone.

The Dynesys System can be used in skeletally mature patients to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. It is used as an adjunct to fusion to treat degenerative slipped disc(s) (spondylolisthesis) in the thoracic, lumbar or sacral regions when there is evidence of resulting neurologic impairment or in the case of a previous failed fusion (pseudarthrosis).
