New titanium device shows promise for painful spine fractures
NCT ID NCT07242677
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a titanium implant called SPHEREPLAST in 37 people with spine fractures caused by osteoporosis or injury. The implant is placed during a procedure called balloon kyphoplasty to stabilize the broken bone and help it heal. Researchers looked at pain levels, disability, and X-ray results over one year. The goal was to see if the device is a safe and effective alternative to bone cement.
