Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and the efficacy of an hydrogel (double cross-link microgel - DXM) injection into the intervertebral disc (IVD) space in patients with painful lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) over 24 to 48 weeks.
The study is a post-market surveillance study of the Lumbar Implant for Stiffness Augmentation (LISA), a medical device, which is used to treat low-back pain that accompanies degenerative lesions of grades II, III, and IV (Pfirrmann MRI classification). "Post-market" means the device (i.e. the LISA implant) being used in this study has already obtained CE certification and is commercially available for use in the European market. The LISA device consists of 3 components: A PEEK interspinous spacer, a polyester band, and a titanium blocker. The spacer is positioned between two adjacent spinous processes, the band is belted around the spinous processes and through the spacer, and the blocker is used to lock the band inside the spacer. Medical Device manufacturers conduct "post-market" clinical studies in order to continuously evaluate the product scientifically and to comply with legal and ethical obligations. With these studies, the long-term safety as well as performance of their medical devices are assessed. This study, which is initiated and sponsored by BACKBONE (LISA designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer), aims to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the LISA implant for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease and to evaluate the treatment.
The objectives of this longitudinal study are to assess and measure fusion status (fused or not fused) and rate of bony fusion using NanoBone® Synthetic Bone Graft in patients requiring one to two level lumbar posterolateral fusion procedures with or without commercially available rigid spinal instrumentation. Our hypothesis is that the Nanobone synthetic bone graft will be as effective at creating a fusion in the lumbar spine as compared with a local bone graft. Each subject will serve as their own control during this study, as patients will receive the Nanobone graft on the right side of their spine and the local bone graft on their left side.
The primary objective of the study is a data collection initiative. The study will collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients implanted with patient specific rods. The secondary objective is to collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with hardware as a control cohort to the patient-specific rods.
A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical evaluation utilizing the SPIRA™ ALIF 3-D printed titanium interbody device with DBM vs a Medtronic PEEK ALIF interbody device with BMP
This study evaluates the effectivity and safety of MSC implantation on Degenerative Disc Disease Patients by assessing visual analog scale, ROM improvement and MRI examination.
This is a prospective single-center study. Patients requiring posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for degenerative disease are prospectively enrolled and followed. Patients enrolled in this study have asymptomatic pre-existing spinal canal stenosis at adjacent segment. This study will focus on the effects of preventative limited decompression at adjacent segment.
This is a prospective single-center study. Patients requiring posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for lumbar degenerative disease are prospectively enrolled and followed. Important adjacent pre-existing degeneration factors include discs degenerated, facets and ligamentum flavum tropism which could lead to spinal canal stenosis (SCS). This study will focus on the effects of pre- existing adjacent degeneration (disc factors and spinal canal stenosis factors) on long-term postoperative outcomes.
The purpose of this trial is to collect clinical outcomes including radiographic and CT outcomes in patients who undergo spinal fusion using the Keos Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device.
This is an observational, descriptive, prospective and retrospective data collection study. The purpose of this study is to observe radiographic outcomes of patients who will undergo anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) utilizing Tritanium C (Stryker Spine). The rate of fusion success and adverse events will be compared retrospectively to patients who underwent instrumented ACDF utilizing structural allograft bone with plates.
