- To evaluate the role of SPECT/CT in assessment of the osteoblastic activity in patients with persistent or recurrent back pain after spine surgery with inconclusive CT/MRI findings. - To assess the value of bone SPECT/CT in the management of back pain.
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ketamine and lidocaine on postoperative opioid consumption in posterior spinal fusion surgery. Materials and Methods: Ethics committee approval was received from our faculty. Seventy-five cases between the ages of 18-65, who have an ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) risk classification I-II-III in the preanesthetic evaluation, planned to be operated by the Neurosurgery clinic for lumbar posterior spinal fusion surgery under elective conditions have been included in the study after the informed volunteer consent form was read and approved. The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups using the closed envelope method. The ketamine group (Group K) (n = 25), the lidocaine group (Group L) (n = 25) and the placebo group (Group P) (n = 25). Propofol, rocuronium and fentanyl i.v. done. In group K, 0.5 mg / kg i.v. ketamine bolus and 0.25 mg / kg / hr i.v. ketamine infusion was administered. In group L, 1.5 mg / kg i.v. lidocaine bolus and 1.5 mg / kg / hr i.v. lidocaine infusion was administered. In group P, i.v. saline (in the same volume and duration) was applied. Maintenance of anesthesia was provided by propofol and remifentanil infusion. The propofol and remifentanil doses were adjusted according to the BIS monitoring and the increase or decrease in basal blood pressure and heart rate values of 20% or more. The BIS value was kept between 40-60. At the end of surgery, infusions were closed. After extubation, the patients were taken to the recovery room. Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) prepared with fentanyl was applied to the patients for postoperative analgesia. The PCA device was attached for 24 hours postoperatively. Postoperative 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours, 8-24 hours and total fentanyl consumption of the patients were evaluated. Pain scores were measured at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours in the postoperative recovery room. Intraoperative propofol and remifentanil consumption was recorded. Tramadol 1 mg / kg i.v. as rescue analgesia (in patients with VAS pain score of 4 and above) done. Possible side effects due to opioid, ketamine and lidocaine were followed.
Open label, prospective, single arm, multi-center study. Pedicle screws placement in sacral/lumbar vertebrae will be performed via open procedural technique, by at least two (2) different surgeons, using the XVISION SPINE system. Pedicle screw placement accuracy will be assessed by two independent, experienced radiologists, using the Gertzbein score. Subjects will undergo intraoperative 3D scan prior to screws placement to enable 3D model rendering and XVISION SPINE system registration. Subjects will undergo intraoperative 3D scan post procedure to enable offline scoring of pedicle screw placement using the Gertzbein score. Surgeons performing the procedures will be requested to fill in usability questionnaires at the end of the procedure
This is a phase IV post-marketing study for MagnetOs Putty. MagnetOs Putty is a synthetic bone graft extender product that is routinely used by surgeons as a treatment for patients with leg pain and/or back pain and undergoing spinal fusion surgery. In this study, MagnetOs Putty will be used according to the latest U.S. Instructions For Use, specifically as a bone graft extender mixed with autograft in a 1:1 vol.% in the posterolateral spine.

A clinical study evaluating patients treated with the Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) as compared to a Cellular Bone Matrix (CBM) in anterior lumbar interbody fusion.
This trial studies how well low-dose postoperative corticosteroids (FDA approved) affect patient outcomes (patient reported outcomes, pain medication use, length of stay, major complications, and time to first bowel movement) after thoracic and/or lumbar spine fusion surgery.
Rationale: Cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) is a common cause of cervical radiculopathy, myelopathy or myeloradiculopathy. Surgical treatment is indicated when conservative therapies do not provide sufficient relief or when neurological complaints are progressive. The main surgical techniques are anterior cervical discectomy with (ACDF) or without fusion (ACD), whereas both techniques result in high fusion rates. Short term outcomes of surgery show good clinical results. Long term follow-up shows a drop-in satisfaction rates, often due to the occurrence of new complaints. Pathology is often located at levels adjacent to the previously operated segment, known as adjacent segment disease (ASDis). This is thought to be the results of loss of motion at the previously operated and fused segment. Anterior cervical discectomy with arthroplasty (ACDA) is developed in an effort to reduce the incidence of ASDis by preserving physiological motion in the operated segment. Objective: To investigate physiological motion of the cervical spine the investigators will analyze motion patterns at the long-term in patients who underwent surgical treatment for CDDD, either ACD or ACDA. Study design: Fundamental research. This is a prospective study that includes a cohort of patients previously operated in the setting of a randomized controlled trial. Study population: Adult patients with an indication of surgical treatment for cervical radiculopathy as a consequence of CDDD were enrolled in an RCT between 2007 and 2014 and assigned to undergo ACD or ACDA. Flexion and extension cinematographic recordings of the cervical spine were performed, with the last one at one-year follow-up. The majority of patients in the ACDA group (80%) showed a normal sequence of segmental contribution, which was not the case in the ACD group. This cohort will now be asked to participate in the long-term follow-up study assessing the motion patterns 6-13 years after ACD or ACDA surgery. Intervention: One flexion and extension cinematographic recording of the cervical spine and will be made. Main study parameters/endpoints: The sequence of segmental contributions in sagittal rotation during flexion and extension of the cervical spine will be assessed in the long-term follow-up of surgical treatment. Secondary outcomes will be to assess the amount of degeneration based on the Kellgren Score (KS) and the segmental range of motion (sROM). Long term clinical outcomes will be assessed according to VAS, NDI, SF-36 and Odom's criteria. Patients will be asked whether they have new neurological symptoms and whether they have had a re-operation. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participants receive cinematographic recordings once. The amount of radiation is a negligible risk. There will be no health benefits. There will be no follow-up.
One of the primary goals of spine surgery is to reduce pain and increase mobility to improve patients' quality of life. Currently, there is no established method for surgeons to objectively track their patients' mobilization postoperatively. This study is the first prospective trial utilizing the Apple Watch to objectively track patients before and after elective spine surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the ability of patients to track their own activity and discuss with their surgeon objective mobilization goals will not only help patients achieve empowerment in their own care but also improve their overall satisfaction and self-reported outcomes after spine surgery.
