Filter by:The object of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and safety of the Tirobot system.
The purpose of this study is to evaluation for the pattern of bone bridging of patients who undergo transforaminal lumbar interbody arthrodesis, the investigators hypothesize that auto local bone mixed with β-calcium phosphate + hydroxyapatite (OSTEON 2, Genoss) is not inferior to auto local bone only. In addition, the investigators will analyze anterior new bone bridging pattern between anterior bridging cage newly developed and grafted bone in anterior disc space.
This study was designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of SurgiFill™, a bone grafting material, in patients with spinal fusion.
Postoperative pain management remains a major challenge for surgeons. Despite huge technological advances in pain management, many researchers have documented that unrelieved pain remains common after surgeries, which is estimated that up to 75% of patients do not achieve adequate pain relief postoperatively. The major goal in the management of postoperative pain is to minimize the dose of medications to lessen the side effects while still providing adequate analgesia, because side effects of commonly used pain medications are known to be the reasons that could lead to inadequate postoperative pain treatment. This goal is best accomplished with multimodal analgesia. One agent that can exert antinociceptive and pain reducing effects is vitamin C. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is water-soluble, found throughout the body and is especially highly concentrated in the brain, which has antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. Moreover, it has been proven that the plasma vitamin C concentration decreases after surgery and the requirement for vitamin C increases in surgical patients, possibly due to greater demand caused by increased oxidative stress. Regarding the effect of vitamin C on acute pain, a result from a recent study with the aim to evaluate the potential role of vitamin C in reducing acute pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy showed that supplementation with oral vitamin C significantly decreased morphine consumption after surgery. Although vitamin C has potential for relieving postoperative pain, there has not been studied regarding the effectiveness of vitamin C for spine surgery, to date. This trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin C for surgery of lumbar spine.
The purpose of this clinical registry is to capture data on an ongoing basis from a population of patients who will use Biomet's BHS, OrthoPak and SpinalPak devices.
