The TOPS™ System by Premia Spine offers an innovative alternative to spinal fusion surgery for patients with moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis, and related conditions. This mechanical implant maintains stability and preserves motion by replacing bony and soft tissues removed during decompression surgery. Clinically proven to provide immediate and sustained pain relief, the TOPS System allows patients to bend, flex, walk, and enjoy normal activities without the limitations of traditional fusion surgery. 

If you suffer from radiating leg pain, greater leg/buttock pain than back pain, severe pain when walking short distances, or pain that eases when sitting or bending forward, these could be signs of spinal stenosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis. The TOPS™ System by Premia Spine offers an alternative to fusion by stabilizing the spine while preserving motion. Implanted after decompression surgery, it alleviates pain from spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis without rigid fixation, allowing for natural movement and immediate pain relief. Most patients walk the next day and experience ongoing improvement through rehabilitation.
