THE B-TWIN INTERSOMATIC SUPPORT DEVICE



Abstract

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion is a well established method of treatment in spinal disorders. It is particularly useful in situations in which neural decompression and simultaneous interbody fusion is indicated. The interbody fusion is generally done using various cage designs which are often sizeable and difficult to insert into the limited space available in the spinal canal. The B twin device is inserted collapsed and expands in the disc space to provide interbody support.

We present our experience with the use of this device and present our clinical and radiological results.
