NCT ID NCT07023393

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

Summary

This study was designed to test a new tool that helps surgeons measure and adjust the spine during fusion surgery. The goal was to see if using the tool leads to better spinal alignment and improved patient outcomes, such as less disability. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
