Study on extra rods for long spinal fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding extra rods during a long spinal fusion surgery helps the fusion last longer. It is for adults aged 45 and older who had this type of surgery between 2014 and 2020.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your surgery was done between January 2014 and December 2020.
- You are 45 years old or older.

This trial tests a new bone graft material called FIBERGRAFT Aeridyan for people needing spinal fusion to stabilize their lower back. It aims to see if it helps bones heal together safely and effectively.
This study tests two ways to extend spinal fusion to the sacrum (tailbone area) in people who need more support after a previous back surgery. It may help if your earlier fusion didn't heal or you have new problems in the lower spine.
This study tests two types of rods (mid/high-flex vs low-flex) used during back surgery for people with degenerative spine problems in the lower back. The goal is to see which type helps reduce pain and improve movement better.
This study compares different advanced materials used in a specific spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). It aims to see which implant material helps the bone fuse well and safely over time.
This trial compares two bone-graft materials to help bones heal after back fusion surgery using a rod/screw system. It may help people who have ongoing back or leg pain despite at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments.
This study tests a new bone graft material (MagnetOs Flex Matrix) compared to a standard bone graft for spinal fusion surgery. It may be an option if you have ongoing back or leg pain that hasn't improved with other treatments and you need a one-time fusion of up to 4 levels in your lower back.
