This study is unique in spine because it prospectively collected Level 1 clinical, radiographic, safety and healthcare economic data. The coflex\u00ae device demonstrated better or equivalent outcomes in all major primary and secondary endpoints.<\/li>\n<li>The coflex\u00ae patients spent 40% less time in the hospital compared to fusion (1.90 vs. 3.19 days), and coflex\u00ae surgeries were 36% faster compared to fusion (98 vs. 153 minutes)<\/li>\n<li>At 2 years follow-up, 85.8% of coflex\u00ae patients showed clinically significant improvement in pain and function (measured by Oswestry Disability Index), compared to 76.7% of fusion patients<\/li>\n<li>At 2 years follow-up, coflex\u00ae patients retained their pre-operative range of motion (within 10%) and translation (within 5%) at the treated level and maintained normal adjacent level motion. In contrast, fusion patients experience 62% motion reduction at the treated level, and 52% increase in range of motion at the superior adjacent level.<\/li>\n<li>First PMA to collect healthcare economic data for spinal stenosis. The study data and resulting analyses demonstrate that coflex\u00ae saves the healthcare system an average of $5,000 to $8,700 per case when used as an alternative to pedicle screw fusion<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>The coflex\u00ae study included a significant Medicare-aged patient population.<\/li>\n<li>The coflex\u00ae device, now available in the United States, has more than 18 years of clinical history with regulatory approval in over 40 countries throughout 6 continents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a title=\"COFLEX\u00ae INTERLAMINAR TECHNOLOGY\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/coflex-Press-Release-2012-10-17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue reading: &#8220;COFLEX\u00ae INTERLAMINAR TECHNOLOGY PRESS RELEASE&#8221; \u00bb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Interested in Learning More? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Download and read the complete study, procedure, and findings provided by\u00a0Paradigm Spine\u00ae<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"&quot;coflex\u00ae: Challenging the Gold Standard&quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/coflexBrochure_Singlepage.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;coflex\u00ae: Challenging the Gold Standard&#8221; \u00bb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Anthony Yeung, Principal Investigator in the study, along with investigators Dr. Christopher Yeung and Dr. Justin Field, participated in this clinical trial that led to this FDA approval.
