Preoperative Computed Tomography-Based Prediction of Device Size for Lumbar Stabilization with Interspinous Process Device for Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis

Key Points

• This research aims to establish a correlation between preoperative CT measurements and the size of the interspinous process device used in lumbar stabilization.
• Retrospective evaluation of patient records
• Measurement of lumbar spinal parameters using computed tomography
• Analysis of device size inserted during surgery
• Significant correlation found between CT measurements and device size
• Optimal preoperative CT cutoffs identified for selecting device size
• Potential for improved surgical precision and outcomes
