Minimally invasive surgery for adult spine bending and misalignment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- Your spine problem is long-term (from birth, wear-and-tear, unknown cause, nerve/muscle issues, inflammation, or a past treatment) rather than from sudden injury
- You can get full-body standing spine X-rays (front and side views) that include your entire spine
- You plan to have your surgery within 6 months (or you can redo the measurements and questionnaires)
- Your X-rays must meet one of these alignment limits, like poor back-to-hip alignment, significant scoliosis (side curve), or forward body tilt
- Your surgery plan must use minimally invasive techniques over at least 3 spine levels, with certain screw-placement rules

This study looks at whether using a specific attachment system (VersaTie) with pedicle screws can help prevent problems near the top of a long spinal fusion. It compares outcomes in adults who are planning long posterior spine fusion surgery using this approach.
This trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
This study looks at different types of spinal curves in adults with spinal deformity. It aims to help doctors plan the best surgery by grouping patients based on their specific spinal shape. It is not testing a new drug but rather a new way to think about and plan surgery.
This study looks at how adult spinal deformity surgery affects your ability to reach forward and balance. It compares the results of surgery with healthy adults to see if the surgery helps improve everyday movements.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to correct spinal deformities in adults. It aims to find which method provides better correction and outcomes for patients who have not improved with non-surgical treatments.
This study looks at how well planned surgery corrects neck (cervical) deformities and how the results change over time. It mainly involves standard pre- and follow-up imaging and study questionnaires to compare clinical and X-ray outcomes.
