ISASS: Improved 1-year outcome with Superion and X-STOP devices for lumbar spinal stenosis .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Prospective, randomized, multicenter study comparing the clinical outcomes of two minimally invasive interspinous devices for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis
416 patients were randomized to receive either the Superion or X-STOP interspinous systems in minimally invasive surgery for symptomatic treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. The objective of the study was to determine if there was a difference in clinical outcomes of the two devices at 12 months of a 5 year trial. The results at 1 year follow-up indicated that both treatment devices significantly improved clinical outcome compared to preoperative values, and that there was no difference between groups at any follow-up assessment. Rate of re-operation also did not significantly differ between groups. Future assessment in this study will determine if any differences exist between the two interspinous systems.
