X-Ray Guided Technique in Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis: MILD

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common degenerative disease of the lumbar spine that affects up to 8 % of the US population, particularly those over the age of 60 years [1–3]. If the stenosis is critically significant, neurogenic claudication can result from nerve root ischemia with the underlying causative theory being venous insufficiency as a result of venous constriction that becomes critically aggravated by exertion typically by standing a short time or walking a short distance.
