Study of ION facet screw in spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study is for adults who have already had a specific type of spinal fusion using the ION Facet Screw system, along with additional hardware. It looks at how well this procedure works over time. You must be 21 to 80 years old, have no active cancer or severe bone disease, and not be on medications that affect bone healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had the ION Facet Screw placed in your spine (neck or lower back).
- You must have had additional fixation (like rods or plates) at that same level.
- You must be between 21 and 80 years old.
- You must be willing to follow the study rules and give written consent.
- You cannot have active cancer or a history of cancer that affects your bones.
- You cannot have significant bone disease (like osteoporosis or osteomalacia).
- You cannot be taking medications that interfere with bone healing (like long-term steroids).
- You cannot be pregnant or nursing.
- You cannot be incarcerated.

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 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.
This study looks at how well a specific spinal surgery approach works over time and how it affects quality of life. You may qualify if you’re having corrective adult spine surgery with certain metal implants and can complete follow-up questionnaires.
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.
This trial tests a new implant to treat lower back narrowing that causes pain. It may help people who have not improved after at least 3 months of non-surgical care.
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.
