The research study is comparing posterior dynamic stabilization in patients using the Stabilimax NZ device to patients receiving traditional fusion surgery to treat their Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, a common lower-back disorder where deterioration of the joints and discs leads to increased pressure on the spinal nerves. Dr. Byrd's first patient was 83-year-old Elizabeth Williams.

J. Abbott Byrd, III, M.D., a board-certified orthopedic surgeon affiliated with Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center, is the first spine surgeon in Virginia to implant the Stabilimax NZ® Dynamic Spine Stabilization System as part of a randomized, controlled, national research study.
