ION facet screw system outcomes study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the ION facet screw system works in people who already had the surgery for neck or lower back pain. It checks their progress and safety over time to see if the procedure helps them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 80 years old.
- You have already had surgery with the ION facet screw system in your neck (C3-C7) or lower back (L3-S1), with screws on both sides of the spine at one or more levels.
- You also had extra hardware (like rods or plates) to support the same area.
- You do not have current cancer or a cancer diagnosis that was active during your healing after surgery.
- You do not have significant bone disease like osteoporosis or osteomalacia, and you are not taking medications that can interfere with bone healing (like chronic oral or injected steroids).
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or incarcerated at the time of the 12-month check-up.

This study looks back at patients who had spinal fusion surgery to see if the top screws become loose over time. It reviews existing medical records and X-rays to learn more, which could help improve future surgeries.
This study looks at how well a specific neck surgery (posterior cervical fusion using added spacers) works for people with long-standing, non-traumatic neck wear-and-tear problems. It will track outcomes using symptoms and imaging to see if the surgery improves function and healing.
This study tests whether a special bone-graft material (i-Factor) helps the spine fuse successfully and improves quality of life after surgery for adult spine deformities. It looks at how well the bones heal and how you feel in the months after.
This trial tests a new type of implant that is placed in the back of your neck to help open up space for nerves and improve spine alignment. It may help people with pain, numbness, or weakness from a pinched nerve or spinal cord compression caused by wear-and-tear changes.
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
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.
