Disc Disease Degenerative Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Study Comparing the Outcome of Anterior Lumbar Fusion and Total Lumbar Disc Replacement
Total lumbar disc replacement has previously been compared to posterior fusion of the lumbar spine, showing some favor towards total disc replacement. The study aims to compare total disc replacement to anterior fusion, sparing the muscles of the back and thus comparing the two different methods using the same surgical approach.
A total of 170 patients are planned to be enrolled in the study. If the patients meet the inclusion criteria and accept to participate they will be randomized to either anterior lumbar fusion or total disc replacement. The method of choice will be blinded for the patients until the two year follow up is completed. Follow-up: after one and two years. Questionnairs: ODI, VAS, EuroQol, and GA Flexion- Extension X-ray after one and two years Complications will be retrieved from the patient journals. ;
