TOPS System
The TOPS™ device offers an alternative solution to spinal fusion surgery for patients with moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis and related spinal conditions.
More Information
The TOPS Posterior Arthroplasty System addresses two critical functions of the spine – maintaining stability and preserving motion. In a Posterior Arthroplasty procedure, your surgeon removes the bony elements that press on your nerves.
Thereafter, the doctor implants the TOPS System to stabilize and reestablish a controlled range of movement of the lumbar spine. Patients with symptoms of lower back pain, sciatica, numbness, tingling, burning sensation, and/or radiating leg pain while walking (spinal claudication) regain their ability to bend, flex, walk, and enjoy the normal activities of life that were so debilitating before surgery.

Conditions Related to TOPS System
Scoliosis
A scoliosis curve can occur in the thoracic spine, the lumbar spine, or both areas at the same time.
Piriformis Syndrome
Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, which runs from the lower spine to the top of the thigh bone, presses on the sciatic nerve.
Sciatica
The term sciatica refers to a type of radiculopathy, a pinching or compression of a nerve that occurs in the leg.
SI Joint Dysfunction
The sacroiliac (SI) joints are located where the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) meets the iliac bones (the large pelvic bones).
Lumbar Stenosis
Spinal stenosis describes narrowing inside the spinal canal and mainly occurs from a combination of aging and degenerative changes in the spine.
