Filter by:The goal of this study is to prospectively collect information about the operative time and intraoperative radiation experienced by patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion procedures guided by the MvIGS spine navigation system.
The purpose of this study is to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients who undergo three-level oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) using ViBone, demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). One product will be used on each level. Subjects will be followed for 12 months following surgery to assess degree of mineralization via computed tomography (CT) scan at 6 and 12 months, mean time to fusion, and maturation of fusion mass postoperatively via x-ray radiograph.
Patient outcomes and satisfaction are an ever-increasing priority in surgical specialties. Cryotherapy has been utilized following spine surgery as an adjunct therapy to reduce postoperative inflammation and improve patient outcomes. However, limited studies have investigated the effect of cryotherapy on postoperative pain and narcotics use. Fountas et al. performed a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of postoperative cryotherapy following single-level lumbar microdiscectomy. The authors reported patients receiving cryotherapy required significantly less pain medication (0.058 mg/kg/hr versus 0.067 mg/kg/hr, p<0.001) and had shorter hospital stays (1.71 days versus 2.65 days, p<0.001) as compared to the control group. In another randomized trial of single-level lumbar discectomy patients, Murata et al. demonstrated cryotherapy to have no significant effect on VAS inpatient pain scores or postoperative blood loss.
This is a randomized prospective study that will compare the use of narcotics in a control group of non-injected patients with a treatment arm of patients injected intra-operatively with a ropivacaine, morphine, and epinephrine cocktail. The investigators hypothesize that this treatment will reduce narcotic use in patients during their hospital stay, and possibly decrease the length of their stay in the hospital.The investigators also hope their pain will be decreased as displayed by their multi-daily Clinically Aligned Pain Assessment (CAPA) score.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of using Solum IV and bone marrow concentrate with general fluid concentrate in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF).
Computer-based navigation systems were first introduced to spine surgery in 1995 and while they have been long established as standards in certain cranial procedures, they have not been similarly adopted in spine surgery. Designed to overcome some of the limitations of navigation-based technologies, robot-guided surgical systems have become commercially available to surgeons worldwide.These systems are rapidly challenging the gold standards. The aim is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial. The randomized variable will be the screw placement technique used. One arm will be treated with lumbar fusion using robotic guidance (RG), one arm will receive the same procedure but with a free hand technique (FH) and the third arm will use navigation (NV) (CT or Fluoroscopy-assisted). Intraoperative screw revisions and revision surgery for screw malposition as well as clinical patient-reported outcomes to identify any such differences between these methods of screw insertion will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether instrumented lumbar fusion provides superior clinical outcomes in comparison to non-instrumented fusion in patients with "static" degenerative spondylolisthesis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of Neofusetm in subjects with a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease (DDD) in 1 or 2 adjacent vertebral levels between L1 and S1 and undergoing posterolateral lumbar fusion.
