Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to determine whether instrumented anterior lumbar interbody Fusion with a new nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite embedded in a silica gel matrix (NH-SiO2) was associated with superior radiological and clinical outcomes at 12 months follow-up compared with instrumented ALIF with homologous bone


Clinical Trial Description

This randomized clinical trial included two groups of 20 mature patients with mono- or multisegmental degenerative disease of the lumbar spine who were suitable to undergo mono- or bisegmental ALIF fusion at the level L4/L5 and L5/S1 with a carbon fiber reinforced polymer ALIF cage filled with either NH-SiO2 or homologous bone (HB). Patients were followed 12 months postoperatively. The primary aim was to compare postoperative disability as measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Secondary aims were to compare postoperative radiographic outcomes and differences in pain and quality of life between these groups. ;
