Bone Graft Substitutes for Spine Fusion
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to gather information on the effectiveness of a bone graft substitute from OssDsign® in real-world settings for individuals undergoing spine fusion surgery. Spine fusion stabilizes the spine and is often necessary for back pain or spinal issues. The study will observe patients scheduled for this surgery whose doctors have deemed the OssDsign® bone graft suitable. Ideal participants are those needing spinal fusion surgery and willing to adhere to the study's requirements for two years post-operation. As a Phase 4 trial, this study involves a treatment already FDA-approved and proven effective, aiming to understand its benefits for a broader patient population.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
What is the safety track record for OssDsign® and spine fusion?
Research has shown that OssDsign, a bone graft substitute used in spine fusion surgeries, is safe based on current data. A review of 511 units used post-market revealed no major safety issues. Some side effects were reported, but none were serious enough to raise safety concerns. Additionally, the FDA has approved OssDsign for use as a bone filler, indicating it has passed certain safety checks for other applications.
In studies involving OssDsign, all patients achieved successful spinal fusion and reported reduced pain and improved quality of life. This suggests the treatment is generally well-tolerated. Although no treatment is entirely without risk, the available evidence supports the safety of OssDsign for spine fusion procedures.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
OssDsign® is unique because it uses a bioactive bone graft substitute designed to enhance spine fusion surgery. Unlike traditional bone grafts that rely on the patient's own bone or donor bone, OssDsign® incorporates a proprietary calcium phosphate technology that promotes bone growth and integration with existing bone structures. Researchers are excited because this approach has the potential to improve fusion outcomes and reduce complications, offering a promising alternative to enhance recovery and stability in patients undergoing spine fusion procedures.
What evidence suggests that OssDsign® is effective for spine fusion?
Research has shown that OssDsign's bone graft substitute is highly effective for spine fusion surgery. In real-world cases, it achieves an 88.4% success rate, even for patients with complex spine issues. Some studies reported a 100% success rate over two years, noting improvements in patients' quality of life. These findings suggest that OssDsign could be an excellent choice for those needing spinal fusion surgery.46789
