Results for tag: "Laminoplasty"

Laminoplasty is a surgical procedure used to treat spinal cord compression caused by spinal stenosis. It involves the removal of a portion of the lamina, the bony arch of the vertebra, to create a hinge-like opening in the vertebra. This opening relieves pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots, allowing for improved spinal cord function. The procedure is typically performed on the cervical spine, but can also be used to treat lumbar spinal stenosis. The laminoplasty market is composed of medical device companies that manufacture and distribute the instruments and implants used in the procedure. These companies provide a range of products, including laminoplasty plates, screws, and other instruments. Additionally, they offer services such as training and education for surgeons and other healthcare professionals. Some companies in the laminoplasty market include Medtronic, Stryker, DePuy Synthes, Zimmer Biomet, and Alphatec Spine. Show Less Read more
