Anybody know anything about this?



Spinal Dynamic Stabilisation or Spinal Fusion?
Spinal Non Fusion Surgery with the Dynesys Dynamic Stabilisation System

This non-rigid, dynamic implant system is an alternative to fusion. Flexible materials between screws help to preserve anatomical structures, restore the healthy alignment of the vertebrae and relieve the weight overload on the vertebrae adjacent to the implant.

How can the Dynesys System help?

The Dynesys System is a pedicle-screw fixation system, an implant device consisting of a spacer, cord and pedicle screw. It offers a unique approach to stabilisation and mobilisation of the spine and pain relief -- a "dynamic" approach -- that relies on flexible materials and preserves much of the spinal anatomy.

No,
But when husband needed surgery, we looked at this website. Have you considered going back to Mayo?

I know that some people had this implanted a few years ago and did not have favorable results...I was warned about using it...There is only one person I know of that claims to have benefited from it...or maybe two...There were quite a few though that had it done and were very, very sorry....

No,

But I echo what Gloria has said. It is just that in the past my NS has said...where there is movement, there can still be pain. Long story but that was in regards to an artificial disc. Personally, I would NOT opt for it.
