Abstract:
The coflex Interlaminar Technology is an interlaminar stabilization device indicated for use in one or two level lumbar stenosis from L1-L5. It is used in skeletally mature patients with at least moderate impairment in function who experience relief in flexion from their symptoms of leg/buttocks/groin pain, with or without back pain, and who have undergone at least 6 months of non-operative treatment. Our study is focused on the evaluation and biomechanical analysis of osteosynthesis implants and in particular the Corflex-F implant to redefine a new approach to the "Coflex" interspinatus implant using particles swarm optimisation for additive manufacturing, then to study these biomechanical performances.
