Summary
This study tested a special spinal implant (the Keos Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device) in 25 adults with degenerative disc disease or related spine conditions. The goal was to see how well the device helped bones fuse and how it affected pain and quality of life. Participants had spinal fusion surgery using the device, and results were tracked over time.
