The Sagittal Plane Shear Index (SPSI) for Planning Whether to Fuse After Decompressing a Stenotic Lumbar Level
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Sagittal plane shear index (SPSI) for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Spondylolisthesis. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The objective of the clinical investigation is to assess the proportion of lumbar spinal stenosis surgical treatment plans that change when an objective measurement of spinal stability is included and applied following a simple treatment algorithm. The objective spinal stability metric is calculated from flexion-extension radiographs using previously validated methods.

Report SPSI to surgeon after surgeon records an initial surgical plan, and determine whether the objective spinal stability metric influences a change in the surgical plan.
