Details regarding the degenerative spine disorders will be collected with a specific focus on the use of osteobiologics in treating degenerative conditions and their impact on fusion, as well as patient-reported outcomes for these conditions.
OsteoAMP is a novel allograft bone graft substitute (BGS) that has been processed to retain multiple endogenous growth factors for use in spinal fusion. The study is designed to obtain a higher level of clinical evidence for OsteoAMP in spinal fusion procedures and not to garner FDA regulatory approval. This is a prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled, multi-center study of OsteoAMP in instrumented, posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) in patients with degenerative disc disease, degenerative spondylolisthesis (up to grade 1), and/or mild degenerative scoliosis, up to 25 degree curvature. Patients that are scheduled to undergo instrumented, posterolateral spinal fusion surgery as part of their medical treatment and comply with the study eligibility criteria will be given the opportunity to consent and be entered into the study.
One of the primary goals of spine surgery is to reduce pain and increase mobility to improve patients' quality of life. Currently, there is no established method for surgeons to objectively track their patients' mobilization postoperatively. This study is the first prospective trial utilizing the Apple Watch to objectively track patients before and after elective spine surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the ability of patients to track their own activity and discuss with their surgeon objective mobilization goals will not only help patients achieve empowerment in their own care but also improve their overall satisfaction and self-reported outcomes after spine surgery.

This investigation will provide safety and effectiveness information on the use of INFUSE® Bone Graft with the CAPSTONE® Spinal System and CD HORIZON® Spinal System with a Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) surgical approach at one or two adjacent levels from L2-S1 to treat subjects with advanced degenerative disease of the lumbosacral spine.
Major lumbar spine surgery causes inflammation, soreness and swelling that can delay discharge from the hospital. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. This study will evaluate whether DEX can help get patients out of the hospital faster after major spine surgery by reducing the inflammation associated with the procedure itself. A separate part of the study will evaluate the blood levels of some specific indicators of inflammation called cytokines. Measuring cytokines before and after surgery will aid in determining if DEX has altered the inflammatory response.
The purpose of this study is to compare Optecure™ as an autograft extender (treatment) to autograft alone (control) in patients undergoing 1 or 2 level fusion of the lumbar spine(one level is defined as two adjacent vertebrae), L2 and below. The primary endpoint will be the assessment of fusion by evaluation of x-rays taken following surgery at each visit. The x-ray evaluation will be conducted by a radiologist who is blinded to the type of treatment each patient has received. Subjects will be seen at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperative (post-op). Questionnaires and x-rays will be completed at each visit and a computed tomography (CT) scan will be taken at the 12 month visit(and used to aid in assessment of bridging bone, where appropriate).

The objectives of this longitudinal study are to assess and measure fusion status (fused or not fused) and rate of bony fusion using NanoBone® Synthetic Bone Graft in patients requiring one to two level lumbar posterolateral fusion procedures with or without commercially available rigid spinal instrumentation. Our hypothesis is that the Nanobone synthetic bone graft will be as effective at creating a fusion in the lumbar spine as compared with a local bone graft. Each subject will serve as their own control during this study, as patients will receive the Nanobone graft on the right side of their spine and the local bone graft on their left side.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a device called "Posterior Cervical Stabilization System or PCSS" when used along with posterior cervical fusion (PCF) in combination with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in the treatment of multi-level cervical degenerative disease.
The overall objective of this two-group randomized controlled trial is to gather preliminary evidence on the efficacy and safety of early postoperative exercise for improving disability, pain, and general physical health in patients after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery. Our central hypothesis is that an early home exercise program (HEP) performed within the first six weeks after surgery will decrease disability and pain and improve general health, through increases in physical activity and self-efficacy and reductions in fear of movement. The results of our randomized trial will advance research on postoperative management for patients with cervical spine surgery and provide evidence in line with a value-based healthcare approach for optimizing outcomes.
Background: Early physical therapy (PT) intervention with emphasis on spinal stabilization has been shown to benefit individuals undergoing lumbar spinal surgery. Further, training cervical spine stabilizers (deep cervical flexors and cervical multifidus) has been shown to be effective in reducing neck pain, restoring cervical spinal function and mobility in many types of cervical spine dysfunction. However, the training of stabilizers has not been studied in individuals undergoing cervical spinal surgery, even though these individuals often have problems with residual pain and weakness after the surgery. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of clinical outcomes between an early PT intervention and usual care in patients who have undergone anterior cervical spine fusion (ACF) surgery. A study hypothesis is that outcomes will be improved with early PT intervention. Methods: This study is a double-blinded randomized clinical trial with a two-factor (2x3) research design. The patients following ACF surgery will be randomly assigned in one of the two treatment groups: usual care and early intervention. Three outcome measures will be collected pre-operative for baseline, and then at 6-week and 12-week post-operative follow-up visits, including: (1) deep cervical flexor (DCF) strength as determined by the cranio-cervical flexion (CCF) performance test, (2) patient's perceived disability associated neck pain as determined by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire, and (3) neck pain level using the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). In addition, at 6 and 12 weeks, the global rate of change (GROC) scale will be obtained to determine the patient's perception of overall improvement as a result of surgery. The investigator performing the outcome measures will be blinded to group assignment, and therefore will not participate in treatment. After randomization, the usual care group will receive only one visit of PT for post-operative instruction. The early intervention group will receive verbal and written instructions for posture and training cervical spine stabilizers in addition to the usual care. The early intervention group also will be asked to perform these exercises at home and keep a log of the exercise. Data Analysis: Two 2x3 MANOVAs with repeated measures will be used to examine the differences in the CCF strength and the NDI scores between groups and at the three different time frames with the α level set at 0.05. Non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U tests) will be used to compare the differences in the NPRS and GROC data over time and between groups.

This is a prospective, non-randomized multi-center study to compare the use of Osteocel Plus in subjects who receive ACDF surgery at one or two levels. These subjects will present with degenerative conditions in the cervical spine that are amenable to surgical treatment and will be screened prior to study enrollment. Subjects will receive Osteocel Plus, without any other biologic product, during their ACDF operation. The ACDF procedure will be conducted with a radiolucent graft containment device such that progression of fusion can be adequately assessed via radiograph. Subjects will be followed for 24-months following surgery to determine the number of study subjects that are solidly fused at or before 24 months postoperatively, and to determine the mean time to fusion. This data will be compared to published and/or retrospective data for autograft, synthetic ceramics and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP).
