Review Multicenter Study
A case series review of spinal cord stimulation migration rates with a novel fixation device.
A retrospective review of a consecutive case series of 66 permanent spinal cord stimulation implants utilizing a novel tissue fixation device was performed. The purpose of this case series review is to examine the impact of a novel lead anchor to tissue fixation system and determine if it is a viable alternative to standard tissue fixation methods. ⋯ These data suggest this novel method of tissue fixation may be a viable alternative for fixation of spinal cord stimulator leads to soft tissue. In this case series there were no reported incidents of migration or complications related to the novel device.
