Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the NuVasive XLIF Decade Plate System as measured by patient-reported outcomes (PROs), radiographic outcomes, and reported complications.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Modulus 3D-printed titanium interbody implant in patients undergoing thoracic and/or lumbar XLIF as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes.
Age related changes in the lumbar spine can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis) causing leg and back pain. Spinal stenosis can be associated with a misalignment of the spine caused by forward slippage of a vertebrae over another. This instability is diagnosed using diagnostic imaging. With signs of instability the spine surgeon might choose a fusion of the vertebrae. This is a more complex procedure in relation to the simple decompression preformed without instability for spinal stenosis. The purpose of this study is to identify characteristics of instability of the lumbar spine on diagnostic imaging, and investigate associations with surgical data and patient reported outcomes from the National Spine databases from Denmark and Sweden. This will support spine surgeons in providing evidence-based surgical treatment for spinal stenosis with or without signs of instability
A single center study of clinical and radiological outcomes in a retrospective cohort of patients treated with Lumbar Interbody Fusion augmented with Prosidyan Fibergraft for 1 or 2 level degenerative spinal disease by a single surgeon. Study Design: Retrospective chart review with prospective data collection.
The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has been used in many medical disciplines, but has never been correlated with or validated in regard to degenerative spinal diseases. The investigators aim to assess the possibility of using the standardized 5R-STS as an objective measure of functional impairment and pain severity in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases.
The purpose of this trial is to assess whether the Total Posterior Spine System (TOPS System) is more effective than transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) when used to stabilize a single lumbar level (L2 - L5) following surgical decompression in patients diagnosed with (1) at least moderate lumbar spinal stenosis, and (2) Grade 1 spondylolisthesis (or retrolisthesis), and (3) thickening of the ligamentum flavum or scarring of the facet joint capsule. Success will be assessed by means of a composite endpoint that measures improvement in in patient reported outcomes and the absence of any major device related complications.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of pain control and functional improvement in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis treated with "lumbar stabilization exercises" vs "flexor exercises (williams exercises)"
The objective of the PMCF is to collect outcome information on patients suffering from symptomatic degenerative disc disease or degenerative spondylolisthesis requiring 1- or 2-level lumbar or lumbar-sacral spinal fusion with posterior instrumentation and therefore receiving the icotec CF/PEEK Pedicle System in combination with the icotec CF/PEEK TLIF Cage ETurn™.
This study randomizes degenerative spondylolisthesis and/or degenerative disc patients into two groups: one to receive a new ceramic implant and a control group with a more traditional PEEK plastic implant. The procedure uses a single oblique cage in each group. The study will measure and compare pain and disability improvement with the two implanted devices over a period of two years. The fusion status will also be judged with plane x-rays and one CT scan.
Convalescence after lumbar fusion is dependent on pain. In orthopaedic and abdominal surgery accelerated stay programs with optimized pain management enhance recovery. The objective is to evaluate the effect of a revised and optimized perioperative fast track program in lumbar fusion surgery.
