Filter by:"RECK" is a combination of local anesthesia medications, used for the purpose of pain control. RECK is an acronym which stands for Ropivacaine, Epinephrine, Clonidine, and Ketorolac. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of RECK local injectable anesthetic in the setting of posterior spinal fusion. Our specific aims are the following. Primary aim: to investigate the effect of RECK local injectable anesthetic on postoperative VAS pain scores. Secondary aims: to investigate of effect of RECK injection on postoperative opioid consumption and hospital length of stay. Hypothesis: RECK injection will significantly decrease postoperative VAS pain score, opioid consumption, and hospital length of stay compared to placebo controls.
A single-center, prospective cohort trial aims to provide stronger evidence regarding the impact of degenerative spondylolisthesis on the clinical outcome of unilateral biportal endoscopy for lumbar spinal stenosis
The purpose of this multi-center, randomized, clinical study is to show that the treatment of degenerative lumbar spine with high- or mid-flex rods is not inferior to the treatment with low-flex rods in terms of clinical and safety-related results. The primary aim is to compare the reduction in back pain after the treatment with high- or mid-flex rods with that after treatment with low-flex rods. Secondary, the functionality after treatment with high- or mid-flex rods will be compared to that after treatment with low-flex rods.
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the OsteoAdapt SP as a replacement for the autograft standard of care bone graft within the interbody cage, as well as identify the OsteoAdapt SP dose to be investigated in a future pivotal study.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Natural Matrix Protein™ (NMP™) fibers when used in cervical or lumbar interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD), spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis undergoing cervical or lumbar interbody spine fusion at no more than 3 adjacent levels.
The purpose of this early study is to compare the clinical results of the new Conduit Interbody device to the traditional Concorde Bullet Device. The primary objective is to explore the rates and reasons for re-operation between both constructs at 2 years.
A combined prospective cohort study and retrospective analysis of previously collected data. Three different techniques for posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) are compared: CBT-PLIF, MI-PLIF and open PLIF. A total of 180 patients are included, who will be followed up to 6 weeks postoperatively.
Degenerative lumbar spine disease (DLSD) is common in elderly individuals and can result in pain, muscle weakness, and paresthesia. Numerous studies have reported that patients with DLSD usually have postural balance instability, which may affect the patient's gait, functional activities, and quality of life. The investigators propose to achieve the following aims: (1) to develop a clinical balance diagnostic tool to identify patients with DLSD who may require lumbar surgery (2) to investigate the effects of virtual reality skateboard exercise training on gait and balance in patients with DLSD, as well as to compare them with asymptomatic participants.
In recent years there has been an increase in interest from surgeons in the use of synthetic bone graft substitutes to avoid the need of sourcing allograft or iliac crest autograft for use in spinal fusion procedures. This will be an open label, prospective, first in man, single-centre clinical study to evaluate the safety and performance of Osteo3 ZP Putty synthetic bone graft in TLIF procedures with instrumented PLF. Safety and performance data obtained in this clinical study will be used to estimate clinical success rates achieved with the use of Osteo3 ZP Putty synthetic bone graft in TLIF procedures. No comparative control group is intended. The study is expected to run for approximately three years with each subject being followed up for a two- year post-operative period. The target is to recruit approximately 17 subjects to this clinical study, allowing for some subject attrition to get 15 evaluable.
Opioid overuse is a widespread public health crisis in the United States with increasing rates of addiction and overdose deaths from prescription opioids. Reducing the need for opiate analgesics in the post-operative setting has become a high priority in minimizing long-term opioid use in surgical patients. This study will serve to demonstrate the efficacy of the addition of regional analgesic techniques in reducing post-operative opioid requirements in patients undergoing common lumbar spinal surgical procedures.
