Filter by:This study will comprehensively evaluate the outcomes and endpoints of these two different FDA-approved artificial disc implants used to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy and/or radiculopathy today: Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C and Nuvasive Simplify. Both implants are structurally different with the Nuvasive Simplify implementing a three-piece design with two endplates and a semi-constrained mobile core while the Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C implements an unconstrained three piece design. Subjects will be age-matched and randomly assigned to either implant with informed consent. All subjects will undergo a variety of assessments that evaluate neck disability, quality of life, pain, physiological outcome (radiographic assessments), and neck range-of motion before and after their procedure. One baseline testing will be conducted along with three post-operation visits (three months, six months, and one year) in accordance to standard follow-up procedure. Thus, the duration of participation in the study will be approximately one and a half years.
A prospective, multicenter post-market clinical follow-up study to evaluate the 10-year long-term safety and effectiveness of the Simplify Disc at two levels in subjects who were enrolled in the IDE study (NCT03123549) and/or post approval study (NCT04980378).
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a major cause of chronic low back pain (> 40%). It can be defined by specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, with a strong correlation between pain and the inflammatory aspect of the disc, resulting in active disc disease (AD). The Modic classification based on MRI of the lumbar spine is considered a reference. The management of low back pain in patients with inflammatory disc disease generally involves intra-disc corticosteroid infiltration, which has been widely proven to be effective in reducing pain [4-6]. However, this procedure can be painful and invasive and sometimes impossible to perform due to severe disc impingement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy on pain of para-disc infiltration of corticosteroids in contact with the inflammatory MRI signal abnormality (Modic 1) when it is lateralized. This variant of infiltration is easier to perform (no catheterisation of the disc and therefore quicker), would entail less risk of disc infection and would be accessible to more radiologists. It is already practised but, to our knowledge, has never been the subject of a study to evaluate its effectiveness on pain. If successful, more patients could be treated and the range of treatment could be extended.
Compare the lumbar fusion rates at 12 and 24 months when lumbar arthrodesis is performed using Virtuous or Autograft Bone Graft. Surgical approach is limited to TLIF (MIS or Open) with posterior fixation and supplemental posterolateral fusion as directed by physician, but must comply with FDA approved/cleared indication for use and labeling.
This is a Retrospective, Observational Multi-Center study, utilizing patients diagnosed with up to a Grade1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis or symptomatic degenerative disc disease and treated with STALIF® C, or M, Ti and/or FLX implants at one or two levels.
The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single administration of AGA111 for lumbar interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Modulus ALIF System in patients undergoing anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes.
This study will be a prospective, open-label, multi-center study including 72 patients that will collect additional safety and efficacy data for the Spinal Stabilization Technologies PerQdisc Nucleus Replacement System.
VIA Disc NP is a non-surgical intervention intended to supplement the nucleus pulposus tissue in degenerated intervertebral discs.
The objective of this clinical study is to compare OSTEOAMP SELECT Fibers to Infuse Bone Graft, in terms of effectiveness and safety, when used as a bone graft substitute in in skeletally mature patients qualified for 2-lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) by means of an intra-patient control model.
