Default Stenosis

Actually the ADR is contraindicated for stenosis (leg pain). However, sometimes the ADR will take care of the stenosis and sometimes not. I had to have the ADR and then posterior decompression surgery to remove the stenosis. Stenosis can be located at the foramen that are very difficult to open from the front (stomach or anterior appraach that must be used for the ADR).
