Stem cell graft aims to heal spine faster
NCT ID NCT00948831
Summary
This study tested a special bone graft material called Osteocel Plus, which contains stem cells, during spinal fusion surgery. The goal was to see if it helps the bones in the lower back join together solidly after surgery for painful degenerative disc disease. Researchers followed 51 patients for two years to measure how well and how quickly the fusion happened, comparing results to older methods.
