Spine surgery extension for failed lower back fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have had a previous lower back surgery that failed or needs to be extended.
- You have instability, degeneration, infection, tumor, or a non-healed fusion (pseudoarthrosis) in the lower spine.
- You are scheduled for surgery to extend the fusion to the sacrum.

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.
This trial tests a new spinal implant system (CORUS-LX) for fusing two lower back discs that are causing pain. It is meant for people with severe, long-lasting back or leg pain that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.
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 trial is checking how well the spine bones join together (called bone fusion) after surgery using a special bone graft material called Fibergraft. It will look at CT scans taken about one to two years after your surgery to see if the fusion is successful.
This study will follow patients who have surgery for lower back problems. It aims to learn about their long-term recovery and outcomes.
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.
