What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?
Has anyone had the Veriflex Superion implant. I had it and it did not seem to work for me. Would appreciate any one that has information. Thanks

I had vertiflex put in L4 L5 a year ago very disappointing I have all the symptoms that I had prior to veriflex should have had the fusion in the beginning hope you have better luck than I did thank you
The procedure is actually a walk in the park you go to sleep you wake up you're not in pain the recovery is almost painless my problems is it didn't do nothing for my ability to walk
I had a lot of pain after my Vertiflex for at least 6 weeks
Did it help you.
Mine did nor help but I had very little pain know very frustrated with the results.
I wish you the best
I had vertiflex at L4 L5 like you said it did nothing but the question is where do you go from here have Fusion
I had Verteflex(1 implant) 1 year ago. There was almost NO pain afterwards. I was able to stand up straight for about 4-6 weeks. Then the pain returned, bending,etc was very painful and I am back to square one. I hope you all have better success. Remember, we all have an individual respone based on many factors and you may be the successful one. Best to you all.
Good day I got the vertex operation on L4 L5 because of the weakness in my right leg my leg pain wasn't major one year later the week that's in my leg is still there basically it has done nothing I hope others had more success and if so I would like to know thank you
Thank you for your post regarding the implant you had performed in 2018. If you wouldn't mind sharing with me and other readers if you were diagnosed as "moderate" or "severe" spinal stenosis prior to your decision to have the procedure done would be helpful to me. It seems that some of the posters on this forum were diagnosed as "severe" spinal stenosis and some have had lamectamy surgery. I do not fall into either of these categories, however, I do have MILD scoliosis in my upper lumbar spine and my MRI catagorized my stenosis in the lower spine as mild to severe in the lumbar 4.
I have severe stenosis . My implants worked for a couple of yrs but stenosis isn’t the only problem I have I need rods in my bank and I think that hurts me more than the stenosis I have to wear a brace all the time because my back isn’t strong enough to hold my back up . If there’s anything else you want to know just message me . Oh and by the way I read that if you have severe stenosis it really doesn’t work with the implants .I think there’s a group on Facebook that talks about the implants , right now I’ve forgotten what their called but if you have FB just type in search bar the name of the implants and it will be interesting to look at if they worked for people
I have two vertiflexes in my back l 4 l 5 they have done nothing for me I have yet to see a consensus on them on this site I'll go one further I have seen nobody on this site that they have done anything for thank you
