    Hi Dr. Corenman, I have heard of the Coflex surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis.
    Is there one for cervical spinal stenosis that also does not require fusion?
    Thank you so much!

    There is a new one that will have the same capacity for not making sense or being effective that the lumbar Coflex demonstrates. If you have stenosis, get the surgery that corrects the problem, not alter the biomechanics in an abnormal way using a device that creates the detriment of the global alignment.
