Lumbar decompression & fusion - NaomiMcD
Posted: Mar 16, 2011
Hi everyone. The doctor s/l he is saying: "We have also talked about the off labral use of the MP in the posterolateral recess and posterior interbody spacers." I think that's what he is saying, not sure of the bold words. DX is lumbar instability, stenosis & radiculopathy L3-4 and 4-5. There is also a synovial cyst off L3-4. Not able to locate these exact words on any websites/searches. Thanks for any help.
Just a guess here - - LK
[ In Reply To ..]Almost certain your first phrase is "off-label," which means used for something other than what it was originally approved for by the FDA. Could the second part be BMP (bone morphogenic protein)?
