ISASS, the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery, published a policy statement of recommendations and coverage criteria for decompression with interlaminar stabilization for select patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).
Interlaminar stabilization after direct decompression is a non-fusion surgical option that may provide additional stability over decompression alone.
Paradigm Spine’s coflex® device is reported to be the only spine product that has achieved FDA Premarket Approval for up to a Grade I spondylolisthesis with a concomitant decompression.
A new CPT code takes effect on 1/1/17 for use of the coflex device for interlaminar stabilization after a decompression. Earlier this year, study results from 5-year follow-up demonstrated long-term, sustained therapeutic effect of coflex vs. fusion in the treatment of LSS.
