First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new titanium cage used in spinal fusion surgery for people with degenerative disc disease in the neck. Fifty participants will receive the device and be followed for up to 24 months to see if the bones fuse properly and if pain and function improve. It is a small pilot study, so results are preliminary.

Active substance
Tritanium C Anterior Cervical Cage (a medical device used in spinal fusion surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could improve spinal fusion rates and reduce pain for people with degenerative disc disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Surgery risks include infection, nerve damage, or failure of the bone to fuse.
