Filter by:The purpose of this study is to define clinical and demographic features within the population suffering from cervical deformity to assist health professionals to make important treatment decisions.
The purpose of the Post-Market Surveillance study is to evaluate safety.
The treatment of adult deformity has improved with the development and use of modern segmental instrumentation, including posterior instrumentation. However, the incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) caused by the accelerated degeneration of the joint capsules and smaller articular processes in the proximal junctional region has also been noted. One potential way of decreasing PJK is to decrease the structural rigidity of the construct at the top thereby providing a transition to the non-instrumented spine and allowing for less facet capsule and muscle disruption.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of SPINESCAN® with standard lateral x-rays of the spine in patients monitored for kyphosis.
This research is being done to compare two methods of surgery to treat scoliosis and/or kyphosis of the spine.
This study seeks to determine whether a specially designed Hatha Yoga program can reduce hyperkyphosis in men and women who are at least 60 years of age and who have excessive thoracic kyphosis.
The purpose of this study to determine the radiographic and clinical outcomes of spinal deformity surgical treatment in patients with Scheuermann's Kyphosis.
Until now, arthrodesis (intervertebral fusion) is the formal treatment for the lumbar and cervical degenerative disc disease : arthrodesis has been the standard surgical treatment for the patients when nonsurgical management has failed. However , it has shown out some drawbacks : pseudoarthrosis may appear in the short term, and junctional degeneration in the long term. The replacement of the intervertebral disc by a prosthesis (arthroplasty) has been since a few years a major alternative therapeutic to the arthrodesis.: it demonstrates great functional results and less post-interventional complications. It is indicated to restore a normal function of the spine (motion is kept)and to avoid deterioration of the adjacent spinal segments over the long time. In this clinical study, we will distinguish the cervical discal pathology and the lumbar discal pathology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of the arthroplasty in terms of functional effects, quality of life, anatomical results and economical results.
Individuals who undergo spine surgery often have a significant loss of blood and may require multiple blood transfusions. Research has shown that epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) may reduce the amount of blood lost during surgery, which would decrease the number of blood transfusions required. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EACA at reducing blood loss and the need for blood transfusions in individuals undergoing spine surgery.
