Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the performance of MagnetOs Flex Matrix in patients with leg pain and/or back pain.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center study that intends to demonstrate the performance of MagnetOs Flex Matrix compared to Cellular Allograft in patients with leg pain and/or back pain requiring up to four-level instrumented PLF surgery.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patient is able to read/be read, understand, and provide written informed consent and has signed the IRB approved informed consent.
- •Male or female patient ≥ 18 years old.
- •Patients with leg pain, and/or back pain requiring up to four-level instrumented posterolateral lumbar/thoraco-lumbar fusion (T11 - S1).
- •Failed conservative treatment (physical therapy, bed rest, medications, spinal injections, manipulations, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) for a minimum period of 3 months prior to study enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Requires greater than four-level fusion or expected to need secondary intervention within one year following surgery.
- •Had prior PLF fusion or attempted PLF fusion at the involved levels.
- •Had previous decompression at the involved levels.
- •Women who are or intend to become pregnant within the next 12 months.
- •To treat conditions in which general bone grafting is not advisable.
- •In conditions where the surgical site may be subjected to excessive impact or stresses, including those beyond the load strength of fixation hardware (e.g., defect site stabilization is not possible).
- •In case of significant vascular impairment proximal to the graft site.
- •In case of severe metabolic or systemic bone disorders (e.g., osteogenesis imperfecta or Paget's Disease) that affect bone or wound healing.
- •In case of acute and chronic infections in the operated area (soft tissue infections; inflammation, bacterial bone diseases; osteomyelitis).
- •When intraoperative soft tissue coverage is not planned or possible.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Posterolateral side fusion
Time Frame: 12 months post surgery
The percentage of the posterolateral sides with bridging bone for the MagnetOs Flex Matrix and control treatments using CT-scans and determined by evidence of bridging trabeculae or continuous bony connection between superior and inferior transverse processes.
Secondary Outcomes
- Clinical outcome via neck visual analog scale (VAS)(12 months post-surgery)
- Posterolateral lumbar/thoraco-lumbar fusion(6 months post surgery)
- Clinical outcome via Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ODI)(12 months post-surgery)
- Secondary Surgical Interventions (SSI's)(12 months post-surgery)
