NCT ID NCT06704906
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a spine implant (VIPER PRIME/Expedium) combined with a special bone graft putty (Fibergraft BG) helps bones fuse together after spine surgery. About 100 adults with spine problems like slipped vertebrae or disc degeneration will be followed for two years. Doctors will use X-rays and CT scans to check if the bones heal properly and track any complications.
