Inspan The Future Of Single Position Lateral And Posterior Decompression And Fusion
Inspan is the first interspinous interlaminar spinous process fixation device to be FDA cleared for spinal stenosis and fusion.
Dr. Erik Spayde backed up a lateral Nuvasive interbody cage with Inspan
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”
- 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.
Dr Kingsley R Chin’s case with unilateral facet screw adding stability to a lateral interbody cage
“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 “
- Professor Kingsley R Chin MD, Harvard-Trained Board-Certified Orthopedic Spine Surgeon
