Spinal surgery patients tracked for daily activity after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial follows adults who are getting a multi-level spinal deformity correction surgery with special pelvic attachment. It looks at how well you return to real-life function and activity after surgery using follow-up visits at Mayo Clinic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an age-related (degenerative) problem causing a spinal deformity in the mid-to-lower back
- You have surgery planned to correct the deformity
- Your surgery plan includes fusing at least 4 spinal levels
- The surgery includes hardware that is fixed to the pelvis
- Your surgery is with Dr. Elder or Dr. Fogelson
- You are able to come back to Mayo Clinic for follow-up checkups
