Summary

This study is testing a new spinal implant called the DEXA-C, which is designed to match a patient's bone density scan to improve fusion after cervical disc surgery. About 80 adults with degenerative disc disease and arm symptoms will receive the implant and be followed for 12 months. The main goal is to see if the bone fuses properly, with secondary measures of pain and disability.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: DEXA-C Cervical Interbody System (a spinal implant device)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a more personalized spinal fusion device that improves bone healing and reduces complications after neck surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not prove the device is better than existing options. Risks include typical surgery complications like infection, implant failure, or non-union.
