title: Bone impactors. New instruments for spinal decompression.
abstract: I have used these new instruments, designed for the reduction of nerve structure compression by the principle of impaction (driving inward of the outer surface), with success in well over 300 cases; they have proved to be useful, and often indispensible, in most cases having decompressions for lateral stenosis.
