Spine alignment check during adult spinal fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to check spine alignment during surgery to correct spinal deformities in adults. It may help improve outcomes for people having spinal fusion surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older) with fully grown bones.
- You need to have a spinal deformity, such as a curve or imbalance, or need spinal fusion surgery for degeneration or deformity.
- You must be able to give informed consent.
- You cannot have an active infection, inflammatory spine disease, or a recent spine or pelvic fracture.
- You cannot be pregnant, a prisoner, or unable to consent.

This study measures how your spine and pelvis line up in everyday standing and walking, using multiple types of measurements. It aims to better understand adult spinal deformity and how it affects body mechanics—information that may help plan future care.
This trial is testing an AI computer system that automatically measures scoliosis and related spine curve problems using medical images. If you qualify, you may be asked to have or allow specific imaging so the system can be checked for accuracy and usefulness.
This study looks at different types of spinal curves in adults with spinal deformity. It aims to help doctors plan the best surgery by grouping patients based on their specific spinal shape. It is not testing a new drug but rather a new way to think about and plan 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 trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
