Osteo Match vs. PEEK cages for spinal fusion in osteoporosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of cages used in spinal fusion surgery for people with osteoporosis. It aims to see if one type leads to better bone healing and stability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older
- You have a degenerative lower back condition that needs spinal fusion with screws, like spinal stenosis or spondylolisthesis
- You have tried at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments without relief
- You have been diagnosed with osteoporosis using a bone density test (like DXA or QCT)
- You need a fusion cage placed in the lower spine between L3 and S1
- You have chosen the type of fusion cage to be used

This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
This study compares two types of cages used in a spinal fusion surgery to see if one helps bones heal better and reduces pain. It may help people with degenerative disc disease in the lower back who haven't improved with other treatments.
This trial compares two different implanted materials (titanium vs. PEEK) used in a one-level spinal fusion for people with lumbar stenosis and spondylolisthesis. It’s meant to see which device performs better after surgery for pain and leg symptoms when non-surgical treatments haven’t helped.
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 compares two different implants used in neck surgery to treat worn-out discs. The goal is to see which implant works better for pain and recovery.
This trial compares two ways of placing supportive cages in the lower spine during a fusion surgery — either two straight cages or one curved (banana) cage. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and stability for people with disc problems.
