Stem cell graft aims to heal spinal fusions faster
NCT ID NCT00947583
Summary
This study tested a special bone graft material containing stem cells, called Osteocel Plus, for use in spinal fusion surgery. The goal was to see if it helps the bones in the spine join together solidly after surgery for severe, long-term back pain. Researchers followed 19 patients for two years after their surgery to measure how well the fusion healed and to track their pain and function.
