Tiny spacers aim to fix neck surgeries and prevent nerve damage

NCT ID NCT04041583

Summary

This study is testing whether adding small bone graft spacers between the joints of the neck during a common spinal fusion surgery helps bones heal together better and reduces the risk of nerve problems. Researchers will follow 45 adults with severe neck arthritis who need this surgery at Ohio State University. They will track how well the neck bones fuse, the neck's alignment, pain levels, and any nerve complications for up to two years after the operation.
