Long-term outcomes of the Karma fixation system
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how patients are doing one year or more after spinal surgery with the Karma Fixation System. It may help doctors understand the long-term safety and effectiveness of this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and your bones are mature.
- You have already had surgery with the Karma Fixation System.
- You have had x-rays and a CT scan at least 12 months after surgery, or you are willing to get these images done.
- You are willing to follow the study rules and sign a consent form.
- You do not have certain bone diseases (osteomalacia or Paget's disease), active cancer, or a spinal fusion or disc replacement at the same level before this surgery.

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 looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
This study will follow patients who have surgery for lower back problems. It aims to learn about their long-term recovery and outcomes.
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 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 trial tests a new material called Kore Fiber that may help your lower back bones fuse together more effectively after spinal fusion surgery. It could improve your recovery and reduce pain.
