Official title

Massoud-Goel Technique and Theory: Percutaneous Trans-facet Fixation for Treatment of Degenerative Spine

Overview

Percutaneous Trans-facet Fixation Massoud-Goel Technique and Theory for Treatment of Degenerative Spine

Detailed description

Massoud-Goel' as rationale treatment for treatment spinal degeneration affected spinal segments using trans-articular screws, without physically distracting the facets, or removal of any part of the bone or ligament.

Following fixing of the segment, all the secondary phenomenon reverse, effectively increasing the canal size and reversing the effects of spinal degeneration and spinal canal stenosis.

Stabilizes the region and provides an environment for resorption of the herniated disc and ultimate arthrodesis of the spinal segments.
