Abstract

Different interspinous implants are used as minimal invasive intervention in the management of degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine. We present a case with foreign body reaction due to polyethylene’s wear after a device for intervertebral assisted motion (DIAM) implantation. We conclude that the polyethylene interspinous devices can cause biological response, therefore; the surgeons and the companies should carefully watch their patients following application of such devices.
