Abstrakt: Introduction: The classic symptom of Central Canal Stenosis is Pseudoclaudication, also known as neurogenic claudication. Patients typically complain of pain, paraesthesia, weakness, or heaviness in the buttocks radiating into the Iowa· extremities with walking or prolonged standing, relieved with flexion or sitting. Though many patients have significant lumbar pain due to degenerative joint and disc changes, most have lower extremity discomfort rather than spinal pain. Material and methods: The present study was conducted in Department of Orthopaedics, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital, Narketpally on the patients who presented with single level Lumbar Canal Stenosis and required surgical intervention and satisfied the Inclusion Criteria. Results: The visual analog scale shows improvement from pre operative status to post operative condition where the mean pain scale decreased from 7.5 to2.6 in fluorotic and 7.4 to 2.2 in non fluorotic patients. This shows significant positive outcome after surgical decompression in both groups and found to be statistically significant Conclusion: From this study of surgical decompression in single level lumbar canal stenosis In fluorotic and non fluorotic patients it can be concluded that this is a safe procedure which gives good results in terms of improvement in claudication distance and relief in pain.
