Objectives:To assess the properties of facet fixation with the Facet Wedge system in patients affected by lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).Summary of Background Data:Implant of intra-articular spacers is an emerging technique for lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:This study included forty patients (Group 1) with symptomatic LSS in whom intra-articular spacers have been implanted along with microdecompression (MD) of the neural structures. Group 1 has been compared with a homogeneous group of patients with LSS treated with MD without intra-articular spacers implant (Group 2). Clinical findings have been observed preoperatively and 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively using dedicated questionnaires (Zurich Claudication Questionnaire, visual analog scale, and Oswestry disability index).Results:One year following surgical treatment, 87% of the patients presented with good improvement of symptoms and 97% referred satisfaction for surgery. Overall, patients of Group 1 presented with significantly better clinical outcome when compared with the control group (P < 0.01).Conclusions:Intra-articular spacers showed significant and clinically meaningful improvements in pain and disability for up to 1 year. These findings need further studies and a longer follow-up.
