    • A novel implantable spacer for placement between adjacent spinous process es in a spinal motion segment is provided. The spacer includes a body defini ng a longitudinal passageway. A first arm and a second arm are connected to the body. Each arm has a pair of extensions and a saddle defining a U-shaped configuration for seating a spinous process therein. Each arm has a proxima l camming surface and is capable of rotation with respect to the body. An ac tuator assembly is disposed inside the longitudinal passageway and connected to the body. When advanced, the actuator assembly contacts the camming surf aces of the arms to rotate them from an undeployed configuration to a deploy ed configuration. In the deployed configuration, the distracted adjacent spi nous processes are seated in the U-shaped portion of the arms providing suff icient distraction to open the neural foramen to relieve pain. An insertion instrument is provided for implanting the interpsinous process spacer. The s ystem is configured for quick implantation through a small percutaneous inci sion employing minimally invasive techniques.
