Minuteman
Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or MRI, helps to pinpoint the affected spinal segments and plan the procedure accurately. On the day of the procedure, the patient is positioned comfortably, and local anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure a pain-free experience.
The device provides immediate stabilization and promotes long-term fusion by encouraging bone growth between the vertebrae. The entire procedure typically takes about an hour, and because it is minimally invasive, patients generally experience a quicker recovery compared to traditional open spine surgeries
Th Is a minimally invasive surgical treatment designed to provide stabilization and pain relief for individuals suffering from conditions such as spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, or degenerative disc disease. This procedure involves the implantation of the Minuteman G3 device, which is a percutaneous interspinous-interlaminar fusion device that stabilizes the spine and promotes fusion of the affected vertebrae.

The Minuteman procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who experience chronic back and leg pain due to instability or narrowing of the spinal canal. It is suitable for individuals who have not found sufficient relief through conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or spinal injections and are seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional open spinal fusion surgery. During the Minuteman procedure, patients can expect a carefully coordinated and minimally invasive process. Initially, a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history and a physical examination are conducted to confirm the source of the pain.
