Filter by:This study is being conducted to determine the percentage of patients with solid spinal fusions after being treated with Osteocel Plus in a TLIF procedure. Due to the unique processing conditions, Osteocel Plus retains a high concentration of stem cells in conjunction with the allograft bone matrix, so it is hypothesized that the fusion rate with Osteocel Plus will be comparable to published data for autograft. The Osteocel product family has already been used in approximately 15,000 cases worldwide.
The chronOS Strip is a synthetic bone void filler manufactured from chronOS beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules and a resorbable polymer [poly(lactide co-ε-caprolactone)]. The chronOS Strip, combined with autogenous bone and/or bone marrow or autograft, is intended to be used in the spine for posterolateral fusion. The purpose of this prospective, multi-center clinical case series was to evaluate posterolateral fusion rates in a prospective series of patients with degenerative disc disease. The surgical procedure consisted of instrumented posterolateral fusion with interbody support. The chronOS Strip, combined with bone marrow aspirate and local bone, was applied to the posterolateral gutters.
This is a prospective, non-randomized multi-center study to compare the use of Osteocel Plus in subjects who receive ACDF surgery at one or two levels. These subjects will present with degenerative conditions in the cervical spine that are amenable to surgical treatment and will be screened prior to study enrollment. Subjects will receive Osteocel Plus, without any other biologic product, during their ACDF operation. The ACDF procedure will be conducted with a radiolucent graft containment device such that progression of fusion can be adequately assessed via radiograph. Subjects will be followed for 24-months following surgery to determine the number of study subjects that are solidly fused at or before 24 months postoperatively, and to determine the mean time to fusion. This data will be compared to published and/or retrospective data for autograft, synthetic ceramics and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP).
This study is being conducted to determine the percentage of patients with solid spinal fusions after being treated with Osteocel Plus in a PLIF procedure. Due to the unique processing conditions, Osteocel Plus retains a high concentration of stem cells attached to the allograft bone matrix, so it is hypothesized that the fusion rate with Osteocel Plus will be comparable to published data for autograft. The Osteocel product family has already been used in approximately 20,000 cases worldwide.
The NuBac device is indicated for reconstruction following nucleotomy in skeletally mature patients at least 18 years of age with symptomatic single level degenerative disc disease (DDD) at L4/L5 only. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with or without leg pain; with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient history, physical examination, radiographic studies showing: decreased disc height, contained herniated nucleus, vacuum phenomenon (dark disc) OR positive discography at the affected level. These DDD patients should have no more than Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level and should have failed at least six months of conservative, non-operative care. Demonstrate non-inferiority compared to ProDisc.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of XL TDR in patients with single-level degenerative disc disease compared to other devices approved by the FDA for the same or similar indications.
Study to show the effectiveness and safety of a single injection of rhGDF5 into a degenerating single spinal disc in treating lumbar level degenerative disc disease
The purpose of this study was to collect data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the OptiMesh 1500S to contain and reinforce bone graft materials in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) whose condition requires an interbody spinal fusion procedure combined with posterior fixation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Biomet Lumbar Spinal Fusion System in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery.
This is an observational study to assess clinical outcomes in patients who undergo spinal fusion. Patients who are already scheduled for spinal fusion will enroll in the study. Information about prior therapies will be collected, and then patients will be followed to see how they do after spinal fusion. This study will help researchers better understand the natural course of patients who patients who undergo spinal fusion surgery.
