Familiar with the Aurora Zip Spacer?

@jkay510 I was able to find this information about the implant. There are always newly designed spine implants that are coming to the spine surgery procedures.

Thank you,

I got the Aurora Zip implant 5 years ago. Have had fantastic recovery and 5great years of pain free back.
Recently I started to get sciatica in my right leg again and weakness around my lower back area. Have anyone also had this type of experience at all?

Love to know. Thank you.

What is the Aurora Zip implant. I have been dealing with sciatica for 10 years. My pain specialist gives me Norco for chronic back pain from a failed spine surgery and sciatica. There's allot of exercises that can be done.

@linda6101 The information is in my post at the beginning of this discussion..

@rubyred001
going to see the doctor in August. He is a Renouned Neurosurgeon. I have Severe Stenosis in L3, L4, L5, and Disc problems as well as Arthritis, and from what I read and looked at, I think it will definitely help me, because right now I can't walk, I have to use a walker.

This sounds similar to the Aurora ZIP procedure. Anyone here had that procedure and how many levels.

Fellow members such as @jkay510 @jenniferhunter @linda6101 may have some experiences with this device to share.

Is this what your doctor suggested you have done next? How are you feeling about it, gioanna?

Thanks for connecting me with similar patients! I have a consult at UC San Francisco on August 31. When I inquired about the Aurora ZIP, none of the surgical teams had ever heard of it! I will certainly be asking the surgeon about it next Monday as he is new to UCSF and is only now starting to see patients.

Gee - do the surgeons look at Mayo Connect? I have learned SO much here! Any patient have post-op comments?
