What is the difference between the coflex titanium clip and the spacer for your back if you have stenosis? which is less invasive and least amount to give you any problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coflex is just one type of spacers but it may be more flexible than other types. The technique to insert Coflex is almost the same with other spacers (minimal invasive surgery), patient can be discharged on the same day or just stay overnight in some centers.
