MATERIAL and METHODS: A total of 83 patients were operated upon and the DynesysÂ® system was applied. Indications for surgery included painful degenerative disc disease, degenerative spondylolisthesis and lumbar canal stenosis.

RESULTS: The results for the DynesysÂ® 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 DynesysÂ® dynamic stabilization system effectively protects lumbar motion and achieves lumbar stability in patients with lumbar spinal problems. Our clinical result support literature that DynesysÂ® system is a strong alternative to fusion and instrumentation system in patient with chronic instabilities. Keywords : Dynamic stabilization, Degenerative disc disease, Lumbar stenosis, Degenerative spondylolisthesis
