Neck surgery compares two bone graft materials
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two materials used during neck surgery for degenerative disc disease: donor bone (structural allograft) versus a titanium cage (Tritanium C). It aims to see which option works better for healing the fused neck bones and improving symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 80 (male or female).
- Your neck has degenerative disc disease in 1 or 2 neighboring disc levels between C2 and T1.
- You have tried non-surgery treatments for at least 6 weeks (like physical therapy, injections, or oral steroids).
- You are either scheduled for (or already had) a 1–2 level anterior neck discectomy and fusion at AHN using one of the specified materials.
- You can and will sign the consent form (for the future part of the study).
- You do not have major conditions that block bone healing or raise surgical risk (like serious bone thinning, active infection, or prior fusion at the same levels).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new combination of a cage and bone graft putty for spinal fusion surgery. It is for people with degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc in the neck or lower back that needs surgery.
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
This study tests two methods for adding a new fusion to the level next to a previous neck surgery. It compares using a special plate system versus removing the old plate and putting in a new one.
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
This study compares two types of cages used in lumbar fusion surgery: one made with titanium nanotubes and one made of titanium. The aim is to see if the nanotube cage improves bone fusion and patient outcomes. Participants must have degenerative disc disease and have failed non-surgical care.
This trial compares two types of artificial disc implants used for certain neck problems. It may help people who have tried non-surgical treatments but still have ongoing nerve symptoms or spinal cord issues from a damaged disc in the neck.
