Abstract
Spinal implants are used to treat spinal deformities such as isthmic spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is usually a common problem in men and women over 50 years of age. With the increasing age, structural changes occur to the spine which incorporates joint issues, slip disk, and increasing stiffness of the tissue supporting the spine. This leads to the development of spinal deformities or impairment.
