Study of bone cement and screws for a single spine fracture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study reviews outcomes for people who had a certain surgery for a single broken vertebra in the mid-to-lower back. It aims to see how well the surgery works and if it is beneficial.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a specific type of spinal surgery that uses screws and bone cement through small cuts.
- Your fracture was in one vertebra only.
- You had CT scans of your spine before and after the surgery.
- Your fracture must not be caused by a disease.

This study compares surgery and non-surgical care for an acute burst fracture in the middle-to-lower back. The goal is to see which approach works better for healing and recovery.
This study compares two ways of doing a minimally invasive back surgery to stabilize a recent spine fracture. It looks at whether using screws that can be angled in one direction versus all directions gives better results.
This study compares two ways to fix a broken bone in the back with screws to see which better corrects and holds the spine's shape. It may help you if you have a single-level break with no nerve damage.
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 study compares two types of screws used to fix spine fractures or instability in people with brittle bones (osteoporosis). One type uses bone cement to strengthen the screw, and the other uses a special hollow screw. The goal is to see which method works better for reducing pain and stabilizing the spine.
This trial tests a new device called VCFix to treat a single broken vertebra in the mid-to-lower back. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for relieving pain and restoring spine function.
