Background Patients with large defects in the annulus fibrosus following lumbar discectomy
have high rates of symptomatic reherniation and reoperation. An FDA randomized controlled …

Background A larger defect in the annulus fibrosus following lumbar discectomy is a well-
known risk factor for reherniation. Procedures intended to prevent reherniation by sealing or …

Background: Patients with large defects in the annulus fibrosus following lumbar discectomy
have high rates of symptomatic reherniation. The Barricaid annular closure device provides …

Introduction: Patients with lumbar disc herniation and associated sciatica are often referred
for lumbar discectomy. The surgical defect in the annulus fibrosus is typically left unrepaired …

Objective The aim of the study is to evaluate whether discectomy combined with annulus
fibrosus repair to treat lumbar disc herniations is effective and investigate the implications of …

Purpose With lumbar discectomy for disc herniation, surgeons must choose between limited
nucleus removal associated with higher reherniation risk or more aggressive nucleus …

Purpose To determine the safety and effectiveness of limited lumbar discectomy with
additional implantation of an annular closure device (ACD) among patients at high risk of …

Background: Reherniation rates following lumbar discectomy are low for most patients;
however, patients with a large defect in the annulus fibrosis have a significantly higher risk of …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated bone-anchored annular closure to
significantly reduce reherniation and reoperation rates after lumbar discectomy in patients …

While achieving premarket approval from the US Food and Drug Administration represents a
