Abstract:
The entire concept of spinal stenosis is based on the assumption that there is a minimal space necessary for the function of the neural content of the spinal canal, and this space, under certain circumstances, gets too small. This may seem self evident, but it was not until the middle of the previous century that there was sufficient focus on this concept to establish the diagnosis of lumbar spine stenosis.
