Testing a new surgical tool for spine surgery
This study compares a new surgical tool, the Surgify Halo, to a standard tool used in spine surgery. It aims to see which is easier to use and performs better for removing bone during spine surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spine condition that requires surgery to remove bone.
- You are between 21 and 85 years old.
- You can understand the study and agree to take part.
- You do not have any bone tissue abnormalities.
- You are not pregnant, and do not have a bleeding disorder or allergy to stainless steel or its components.
- You are not a vulnerable person (e.g., prisoner, unable to read, decisionally impaired, in a nursing home).

This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
This study records videos of spine surgeries to test a new system that tracks surgical tools without needing to attach anything to them. If you are having back surgery, your participation could help improve future surgical technology.
This trial compares a new carbon fiber screw system to standard titanium screws for people needing spinal fusion surgery to treat degenerative spine conditions. It aims to see which type of screw works better for pain and stability.
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
This trial tests a computer-assisted navigation system that helps doctors place screws more accurately during surgery for a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to improve surgical precision and outcomes, which may help you heal better after your surgery.
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.
