Spinal Measurement Tool for Spinal Conditions
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new tool used during spine surgeries to help surgeons align the spine to pre-planned positions more accurately. The goal is to determine if this tool leads to better surgical outcomes and fewer follow-up surgeries. It is suitable for individuals scheduled for specific spine surgeries requiring fusion who wish to help test this new technology, the Intraoperative Spinal Measurement System. As an unphased trial, this study allows patients to contribute to innovative surgical advancements and potentially improve their own surgical outcomes.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that this spinal measurement tool is safe?
Research has shown that systems like the one in this trial are often used during spinal surgeries. They provide surgeons with real-time feedback, which can improve spine alignment and reduce the need for additional surgeries later.
In a study with 30 patients, these systems were tested during surgeries on the lower and middle back. The results indicated that patients tolerated them well, and no major safety issues emerged. Many surgeons use similar systems to lower the risk of nerve problems after surgery.
Overall, evidence suggests that these systems are safe for patients. They assist surgeons in performing more precise operations, leading to better recovery and fewer complications.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Intraoperative Spinal Measurement System because it offers a novel way to improve surgical precision during spine surgeries. Unlike current methods that rely heavily on visual assessment and existing navigation systems, this tool provides real-time measurements to help surgeons better achieve alignment-related parameters planned before surgery. This system may enhance the accuracy of implant placement, potentially leading to better surgical outcomes and faster recovery times for patients.
What evidence suggests that this spinal measurement system is effective for spinal conditions?
Research has shown that special tools used during spinal surgery, such as the intraoperative spinal measurement system studied in this trial, help surgeons align the spine more accurately. This system provides real-time feedback, enabling surgeons to adjust spinal implant placement during the procedure. Increased precision is expected to improve surgical outcomes and reduce the need for additional surgeries. Early findings suggest that these systems help surgeons achieve their surgical goals more frequently. By improving accuracy, this tool aims to enhance patient safety and accelerate recovery.25678

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- Intraoperative Spinal Measurement System
Trial Overview
The study tests a new tool that helps surgeons measure spine alignment during surgery. The goal is to see if using this tool matches pre-surgery plans and improves patient outcomes, potentially reducing the need for more surgeries.
How Is the Trial Designed?
1
Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intraoperative spinal measurement tool to assist the surgeon with achieving preoperatively planned alignment-related parameters during surgery. Patients may also be included when the surgeon uses another system or method for placement of the implants (i.e., other navigation system, robot, fluoroscopy, etc.) but also wants to utilize the measurement system. The data will be analyzed as a pool and stratified according to level and # of levels and other demographic and operative data to determine if there are differences.
