Filter by:Currently there is no consensus on the best surgical treatment of patients with symptomatic isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS). Clinical equipoise exists amongst experienced clinicians on the various surgical techniques available. This study will involve multiple phases to answer specific research questions comparing anterior and posterior interbody fusion in patients with lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis. The primary end point will be 1-year proportions of patients reaching minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in terms of leg pain measured by NRS leg. The secondary endpoints will be predetermined moderate to severe AEs, reoperations for nonunion, symptomatic adjacent segment disease, radiological alignment correction and correlation with HRQOL as well as economic analysis at 1, 2, 5 and 10 years.
The objective of this study is to evaluate and follow the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients undergoing 1 level TLIF randomized to either a titanium or a PEEK spacer to 24 months after surgery.
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical utility of a known intraoperative neuromonitoring modality (SSEP) using saphenous nerve as the site of stimulation to identify changes to the lumbar nerves which may be at risk during the lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) procedure.
The aim of the study was to compare denosumab and zoledronate efficacy in bone mass, bone turnover markers (BTMs), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for leg and back, EuroQol Five-Dimension (EQ-5D) scores, Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis-31 (QUALEFFO-31) scores, and Roland-Morris Disability Functioning Questionnaire (RMDQ) scores, secondary fracture, complications and adverse events after lumbar fusion.
This is a Retrospective, Observational Multi-Center study, utilizing patients diagnosed with up to a Grade1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis or symptomatic degenerative disc disease and treated with STALIF® C, or M, Ti and/or FLX implants at one or two levels.
The objective of this single site, randomized controlled trial is to assess and compare radiographic and clinical outcomes in patients who are to undergo lumbar interbody fusion procedures (TLIF), supplemented with pedicle screw instrumentation, using one of the following interventions: 1. Porous titanium cages 2. Non-porous titanium-coated poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) cages.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Modulus ALIF System in patients undergoing anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes.
Instrumented lumbar fusion surgery is often accompanied by interbody fusion using an autologous bone graft that is supposed to expand and remodel to achieve a rigid and lasting bony construction between two vertebrae. However, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the process of biological remodelling of intercorporal bone grafts. Also, a valid and reliable assessment of fusion status remains challenging because there is no objective tool available to quantify the bone remodelling process. CT-based Hounsfield Units correlate with Bone Mineral Density and can be used as a proxy to establish trajectories over time to assess changes in bone mineral density from the bone graft.
A combined prospective cohort study and retrospective analysis of previously collected data. Three different techniques for posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) are compared: CBT-PLIF, MI-PLIF and open PLIF. A total of 180 patients are included, who will be followed up to 6 weeks postoperatively.
Symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis is the most common indication for spinal surgery. However, more than one-third of the patients undergoing surgery for lumbar stenosis report dissatisfaction with the results. On the other hand, conservative treatment has shown positive results in some cases. This trial will compare the outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical treatment for lumbar stenosis.
