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 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 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 study compares two ways to add support between the bones in your lower back (lumbar fusion) using special implants called cages. It might help if you have long-lasting low back pain from disc problems that haven't improved with other treatments.
This trial is testing a new device called the CONDUIT cage for a type of back surgery called anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). The surgery helps treat degenerative disc disease in the lower back by fusing two vertebrae together using a cage to support the spine. The study will see how well this cage works in patients who are already scheduled for this surgery.
