NCT ID NCT05536453
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looked back at 465 patients who had lumbar spine fusion surgery to compare two types of implants: expandable and static. The goal was to see which implant design is less likely to sink into the bone (subsidence) after surgery. Researchers also checked how well the bones fused and how patients' pain and function improved. The study did not test a new treatment but gathered information to help surgeons choose better implants.
