In various exemplary embodiments, the present invention provides a plurality of novel interspinous distraction devices and associated methods of insertion. The interspinous distraction devices of the present invention are designed and configured to effectively treat such conditions as lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. Advantageously, the interspinous distraction devices of the present invention may be inserted through conventional open procedures, typically requiring a relatively large incision and a general anesthetic, or through novel minimally-invasive procedures, typically requiring only a local anesthetic. These novel minimally-invasive procedures and related enabling devices are also disclosed and described herein.

L'invention concerne, sous diverses variantes, une pluralité de dispositifs de séparation interspinale et des procédés associés d'insertion. Les dispositifs ont une conception et une configuration qui permettent de traiter efficacement des affections du type sténose spinale lombaire et dégénérescence discale. L'avantage est que les dispositifs peuvent être insérés par le biais de procédures d'ouverture classiques, nécessitant généralement une incision relativement importante et une anesthésie générale, ou par le biais de procédures à invasion minimale, qui nécessitent en général seulement une anesthésie locale. On décrit aussi ces dernières procédures et des dispositifs de mise en oeuvre connexes.
