    This L6-S1 joint creates additional motion, increasing the potential for motion-related stress and lower back pain/conditions.

    Interlaminar implant: This is a non-fusion U-shaped device that is placed between two bones in the lower back that maintains motion in the spine and keeps the spine stable after a lumbar decompressive surgery. The U-shaped device maintains height between the bones in the spine so nerves can exit freely and extend to lower extremities. [40]
