AIM: To present the clinical results in patients with minor instability with “Dynesys®” a soft spinal stabilization system.MATERIAL and METHODS: A total of 83 patients were operated upon and the Dynesys® system was applied. Indications forsurgery included painful degenerative disc disease, degenerative spondylolisthesis and lumbar canal stenosis.RESULTS: The results for the Dynesys® system were satisfactory, and we have calculated the overall complication rate to be 20.4%(n=17), which is in agreement with the literature.CONCLUSION: The Dynesys® dynamic stabilization system effectively protects lumbar motion and achieves lumbar stability inpatients with lumbar spinal problems. Our clinical result support literature that Dynesys® system is a strong alternative to fusion andinstrumentation system in patient with chronic instabilities.
