This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of two expandable spinal implants (MLX and XLX ACR) for people with degenerative back conditions like disc disease and spondylolisthesis. Researchers followed 109 patients who had already received these implants during standard sp…

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 spine bones grow together solidly after surgery for people with severe, chronic lower back pain. Researchers followed…

This study tested a special bone graft material containing stem cells, called Osteocel Plus, to see how well it helps spinal bones grow together after fusion surgery for severe back pain. Researchers followed 28 patients with degenerative disc disease for two years after surgery …

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 patie…

This study tested whether a new two-level artificial neck disc (Simplify Disc) is as safe and effective as the standard spinal fusion surgery for treating severe neck and arm pain. It involved 182 adults with worn discs in two adjacent neck vertebrae who hadn't improved with othe…

This study tested a bone graft product called Osteocel Plus in people having neck surgery for severe, painful disc disease. Doctors used it during a common fusion procedure to see how well and how quickly it helped the bones grow together. Researchers followed 182 patients for tw…

This study tested a special bone graft material containing stem cells, called Osteocel Plus, during a specific type of spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). The goal was to see if this material could help the spine bones fuse together solidly and potentially faster than other standard gr…

This study tested the safety and performance of the Modulus ALIF system, a medical device used in spinal fusion surgery. Researchers followed 123 patients with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis who received the implant. They checked for complication…

This study tested a new artificial neck disc called NeoDisc against the standard spinal fusion surgery for people with a single worn-out neck disc causing pain and nerve problems. It aimed to see if the new disc was as safe and effective as fusion over two years, potentially allo…

This study tested a new artificial disc called the Simplify Disc to see if it was as safe and effective as the standard spinal fusion surgery for treating severe neck and arm pain from a single worn disc. It involved 150 adults whose pain did not improve with other treatments lik…

This study followed 291 people for five years after they received an artificial disc implant for neck pain caused by worn-out spinal discs. The goal was to see if the implant remained safe and effective long-term by measuring pain, disability, and overall health. Results showed t…

This study tested the safety and performance of a new 3D-printed titanium implant used during a specific type of spinal fusion surgery. It involved 36 adults with degenerative back conditions like disc disease or scoliosis. Researchers checked for complications, used CT scans to …

This study followed 145 patients for five years after receiving an artificial neck disc (Simplify Disc) to treat painful degenerative disc disease. It compared the long-term safety and effectiveness of the disc implant to traditional spinal fusion surgery. Researchers measured pa…

This study tested whether a synthetic bone graft material called AttraX Putty works as well as using a patient's own bone taken from their hip for spinal fusion surgery. It involved 45 adults with chronic lower back pain who needed a specific type of minimally invasive spine surg…

This study tested a new method to monitor nerve health during a specific type of minimally invasive back surgery (XLIF). The goal was to see if stimulating nerves near the spine during the operation could give surgeons better, real-time warnings to help prevent nerve damage. Rese…

This study tested a new feature of a nerve monitoring system used during spinal fusion surgery. The system gives surgeons real-time alerts about nerve safety while placing screws, instead of checking after the screw is already in place. Researchers wanted to see if this real-time…

This study compared two different surgical methods for treating a slipped vertebra in the lower back. Researchers wanted to see which procedure—XLIF or TLIF—worked better to reduce pain and improve function over two years. The study involved 55 adults whose back pain hadn't impro…

This study tested a new spinal implant system designed to help people with degenerative back conditions like disc disease and scoliosis. It involved 75 adults who had spinal fusion surgery using the implant. Researchers followed patients for two years to see if the device was saf…

This study compared two surgical techniques for spinal fusion to treat painful degenerative disc disease in the lower back. Researchers followed 67 patients who received either traditional open surgery or a newer, less invasive approach. The goal was to see if the newer technique…

This study tested a less invasive spinal fusion surgery for people with painful, worn-out discs in their lower back. The procedure uses a smaller incision than traditional surgery, aiming to reduce pain and disability after the operation. Researchers followed 77 patients for two …

This study created a large database to track the results of spine surgeries for conditions like degeneration, deformity, and trauma. It followed over 8,000 patients who were candidates for surgery to collect information on their recovery and outcomes. The goal was to compare diff…

This study tested a new method to monitor nerve function during surgery for degenerative lower back disc disease. Researchers placed electrodes on the skin over the lower back to stimulate nerves and recorded muscle responses in the legs. The goal was to see if this approach was …

This study tested whether using special computer software to plan spine surgeries leads to better outcomes. Surgeons used the software before and during surgery to help achieve proper spinal alignment. Researchers followed 306 patients to see if this detailed planning approach im…

This study aimed to understand how well nerve monitoring works during a specific type of spinal fusion surgery. It involved 323 adults with severe, long-term back pain who were scheduled for the procedure. Researchers tracked the patients' nerve function during and after surgery …

This study tested a new computer modeling tool designed to predict how a patient's posture will look after spinal fusion surgery. Researchers used the tool on 200 adults who had already undergone the procedure to see if its predictions matched their actual post-surgery X-rays. Th…
