Abstract

To find an effective method of minimally invasive treatment combining prevention and assistance in the middle zone of conservative treatment and fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases, through the clinical effect observation and the advantage and disadvantage comparison of several commonly used lumbar interspinous dynamic stabilization systems, by analyzing the physiological structure, biomechanics and relevant data of lumbar interspinous processes, based on fully understanding of memory alloy materials, a new dynamic lumbar interspinous fixation device with a memory alloy material has been independently designed and researched, which can not only reconstruct the normal biomechanical characteristics of the lumbar spine and satisfy the normal activities of the human spine, but also avoid damage to the original structure and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. In addition, the device can be used to optimize the current therapeutic methods. According to our research, the dynamic lumbar interspinous process stabilization device with a memory alloy has theoretically achieved satisfactory results, which can be used to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and is superior to the current several dynamic lumbar interspinous process stabilization systems.

Keywords: dynamic stabilization; lumbar interspinous process fixation device; memory alloy.
