interspinous process spreader Explanation: Fig. 19.5 A spreader is placed between the spinous processes. The spreader is used to measure the size of the interspinous device. Care must be made not to overdistract the interspace with resultant fracture of the spinous process. spreader is then placed in order to measure the interspinous space. The spreader is opened, distracting the spinous processes with care not to over distract and fracture the bone ( Fig. 19.5 ). The spreader’s ratchet is kept up at this point and when proper distraction is achieved it is dropped down and a measurement may be made. There is risk of fracture of the spinous process. This is especially true in those with osteoporosis. If fractured, the spinous process plate will need to be abandoned. The authors always recommend having a back-up plan for fixation when performing this procedure.

interspinous process spacer Explanation: interspinous process spacer (distractor) https://www.premera.com/medicalpolicies/7.01.107.pdf Devices known as spacers have been designed to be positioned between the vertebrae. Spacers are ntended to reduce pain. Generally speaking, a surgeon places the device and then expands it. This expansion lifts the part of the bone that’s pressing on the nerve. Interspinous and interlaminar implants (spacers) stabilize or distract the adjacent lamina and/or spinous processes and restrict extension to reduce pain in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and neurogenic claudication. Interspinous spacers are small devices implanted between the vertebral spinous processes. After implantation, the device is opened or expanded to distract (open) the neural foramen and decompress the nerves Расширитель используется для декомпрессии нервных корешков и стабилизации позвонков (как это и описано в представленном фрагменте). В случае со спредером речь идет об измерительном инструменте, т.е. у него другие задачи. https://jss.amegroups.com/article/view/3525/html Interspinous process spacers versus traditional decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis: systematic review and meta-analysis https://journals.lww.com/spinejournal/fulltext/2015/03010/su...
