Filter by:This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized-controlled study comparing a new method (slump-sitting) with the conventional method (forward erect bending) of performing lumbar spine flexion X-rays.
Establish a data repository of patients who have undergone thoracic and/or lumbar instrumented arthrodesis procedure supplemented by the Implanet Jazz System.
The study is intended to demonstrate that the NuCel® allograft is effective and safe in promoting bone growth and fusion rate when used in cervical fusion in patients with one, two or three-level diseases of the cervical spine.
The overall goal of this clinical study is to characterize the fusion rate of geneX® ds bone graft substitute in comparison to autograft, which is considered the gold standard for posterolateral fusion. Assessments are made using AP and Lateral x-rays, F/E x-rays, and CT scans geneX® ds has been cleared by the FDA for use in these procedures; however this study will allow more detailed characterization of geneX® ds performance in the long-term (1 year). By using the patient as their own control, direct comparison to autograft can be performed while minimizing other variables.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect and safety of NuCel to DBX on patients undergoing posteriolateral lumbar spinal fusions for degenerative disc disease.
An evaluation of the incidence of complications resulting from far lateral spine surgery utilizing the K2M RAVINE® Lateral Access System (RAVINE) with ALEUTIAN® Lateral Interbody Spacer System versus literature reported results for the NuVasive XLIF® system (XLIF) in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate fusion status and patient outcomes observed from use of the VESUVIUS Demineralized Fibers with the EVEREST Spinal System as compared to the literature reported outcomes of spinal fusion using autograft with posterior stabilization.
Most patients undergoing surgery experience significant post-operative pain. Inadequate peri-operative pain management may decrease post-operative mobilization and increase length of hospitalization. Additionally, poorly managed acute post-operative pain analgesia is associated with an increased risk of developing chronic pain and delayed wound healing. Lumbar spine surgery is particularly painful, often requiring a multi-day hospitalization. The most common post-operative analgesia used in spine surgery is narcotic medication delivered via an intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV PCA). A multimodal peri-operative pain management protocol for spine surgery has the potential to not only decrease pain but also to improve recovery, decrease narcotic consumption, decrease length of stay in the hospital and reduce both direct and indirect hospital costs. The purpose of this study is to determine if post-operative pain and rate of recovery are improved in patients undergoing spine surgery using MMA compared to usual analgesic care.
This study is designed as a randomized, parallel-group, therapy-controlled trial in a clinical care setting at a university hospital. Patients presenting to our outpatient clinic with degenerative disc disease or spondylolisthesis will be assessed against study inclusion and exclusion criteria. After informed consent and randomization of patients, surgery will be performed. Follow-up examinations will take place immediately after treatment during hospital stay, and then after another 6 and 24 weeks, for a total study duration of 6 months. Data will be assessed after 12, 24 and 36 months for a supplemental investigation. A further assessment will be performed every year, owing to the possibility that a statement regarding ASD cannot be given after 36 months. Experimental research in this trial will be performed with the approval of the ethics committee of the medical faculty of the University of Cologne and of the university of Halle.
This is a post-marketing, on-label Efficacy, Effectiveness and Safety Study designed in a Multicenter, Randomized, Prospective format. This study compares two spinal fusion procedures, Transacral Interbody Fusion and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF). Enrollment period will be approximately 12-18 months; each Principal Investigator/Study Center will be expected to enroll up to 20 subjects. The protocol requires approximately 7 subject visits to the study center from screening through the final follow-up visit.
