1 Motion Preservation Procedure Codes Hansen Yuan, MD President, Spine Arthroplasty Society
2 Who are we? The Spine Arthroplasty Society (SAS) is a group of medical and associated specialists devoted to the field of clinical and structural amelioration and restoration of the joints of the spinal column. The Society s focus is on restoration, or replacement and potential return to normal function lost by degenerative conditions of spinal joints, especially where prostheses or orthoses may be required to accomplish these goals. I am the President of the SAS
3 Spine Anatomy
4 What are the motion preservation categories for lumbar spine? Posterior Column Devices today s focus 1. Interspinous 2. Pedicle Based Dynamic Stabilization 3. Facet Replacement Anterior Column Devices codes are in place 1. Partial Disc Replacement 2. Total Disc Replacement Note: posterior and anterior refer to location of device post-implantation, and not to approach All provide earlier treatment options compared to fusion
5 How do the posterior column devices differ? Interspinous Devices: Examples X-Stop Interspinous Process Decompression (IPD ) Status - approved PMA Wallis Stabilization System Status - approved IDE Coflex Interspinous Stabilization Status - approved IDE, enrolling Note: Various other interspinous devices are currently in development
6 How do the posterior column devices differ? Interspinous Devices: Design Principles Treat leg pain secondary to lumbar stenosis or mechanical back pain due to a degenerated disc Mode of action: In general, devices act as a spacer between the spinous processes at the symptomatic level Decompress and/or stabilize posterior column either with or without supplementary surgical decompression Off load the disc at the treated level Earlier stage minimally invasive intervention
7 Continuum of Spine Care Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Treatment Option Cascade (ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code ) Conservative Care Decompression Dynamic Stabilization Facet Replacement Disease Progression \ Revision Conservative Care Interspinous Decompression Device (84.58) Interspinous Stabilization Device Facet Replacement Fusion (81.0x, 81.3x) Pedicle Screw Dynamic Stabilization NSAIDS Narcotics Epidural Steroid Injections Physical Therapy Exercise Program Acupuncture, etc. Surgical Decompression Laminectomy (03.09) Hemilaminectomy (03.09) Full/Partial Facetectomy (77.89) Microdiscectomy (80.59) Interspinous Devices
8 How do the posterior column devices differ? Dynamic Stabilization Devices: Examples Dynesys Spinal System Status - Approved IDE, enrollment complete Stabilimax NZ Dynamic Spine Stabilization System Status Approved IDE, enrolling Note: Various other dynamic stabilization devices are currently in development
9 How do the posterior column devices differ? Pedicle Based Dynamic Stabilization: Design Principles Treat leg/back pain due to stenosis and/or spondylolisthesis Mode of action: In general, devices are pedicle screw based and provide posterior stabilization with or without surgical decompression Create a more normal loading pattern across the disc without eliminating motion Mid-stage intervention with option for minimally invasive approach
10 Continuum of Spine Care Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and/or Spondylolisthesis Treatment Option Cascade (ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Codes and/or 738.4) Conservative Care Decompression Dynamic Stabilization Facet Replacement Disease Progression \ Revision Conservative Care Interspinous Decompression Device (84.58) Interspinous Stabilization Device Facet Replacement Fusion (81.0x, 81.3x) Pedicle Screw Dynamic Stabilization NSAIDS Narcotics Epidural Steroid Injections Physical Therapy Exercise Program Acupuncture, etc. Surgical Decompression Laminectomy (03.09) Hemilaminectomy (03.09) Full/Partial Facetectomy (77.89) Microdiscectomy (80.59) Pedicle Based Dynamic Stabilization
11 How do the posterior column devices differ? Facet Replacement Devices: Examples Anatomic Facet Replacement System AFRS Status Approved IDE, enrolling Total Facet Arthroplasty System "TFAS Status - Approved IDE, enrolling TOPS System Status Approved IDE, enrolling Note: Various other facet replacement devices are currently in development.
12 How do the posterior column devices differ? Facet Replacement: Design Principles Treat leg/back pain due to stenosis or facet degeneration Mode of action: Replacing degenerative facet joints while retaining motion and stability Later stage intervention
13 Continuum of Spine Care Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Treatment Option Cascade (ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Codes ) Conservative Care Decompression Dynamic Stabilization Facet Replacement Disease Progression \ Revision Conservative Care Interspinous Decompression Device (84.58) Interspinous Stabilization Device Facet Replacement Fusion (81.0x, 81.3x) Pedicle Screw Dynamic Stabilization NSAIDS Narcotics Epidural Steroid Injections Physical Therapy Exercise Program Acupuncture, etc. Surgical Decompression Laminectomy (03.09) Hemilaminectomy (03.09) Full/Partial Facetectomy (77.89) Microdiscectomy (80.59) Facet Replacement
