First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a special bone graft called Osteocel Plus, which contains stem cells, helps the spine bones fuse together after surgery. It included 51 adults with degenerative disc disease who had not improved with other treatments. The goal was to see if this graft works as well as using the patient's own bone for fusion.
