Clinical Studies

[Trial Of Device That Is Not Approved Or Cleared By The U.S. FDA] Rochester, MN
N/A
Assessment of Wound Closure Techniques in Primary Spine Surgery Using SPY Intra-operative Angiography Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to assess wound perfusion at the site of closure in primary spine surgery between running subcuticular suture, interrupted vertical mattress suture, and staple closure techniques.
Concomitant Sacro-Iliac and Lumbosacral Spinal Fusion for Adult Spinal Degenerative Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial Investigating the Addition of a Mayo Clinic Innovations Spinal Fixation Device to Improve Outcomes Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to validate the clinical effectiveness of an FDA-cleared, Mayo innovated Sacroiliac Joint Fusion (SIJF) device in the setting of long-segment Lumbosacral Spinal Fusion (LSF).
DEPUY SYNTHES SPINE CLINICAL REGISTRY (CONDUIT™ INTERBODY PLATFORM /EIT CELLULAR TITANIUM®) Rochester, MN
The purpose of this registry is to assess the clinical safety and performance of Conduit™ Interbody Platform /EIT Cellular Titanium® (Conduit/EIT) in subjects who undergo interbody fusion surgery.

Randomized, Controlled Trial Of Posterior C1-2 Fusion Versus Bracing Alone For Treatment Of Type II Odontoid Process Fractures In The Elderly Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Posterior C1-2 Fusion versus bracing alone for treatment of Type II Odontoid Process Fractures in the elderly. It is the hypothesis that surgical treatment will result in improved functional outcome measures, neck pain and mortality rates as compared with nonsurgical management. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that surgical treatment of odontoid process fractures will limit hospital re-admissions and development of medical complications secondary to prolonged immobilization in a cervical orthosis and delayed surgery related to late fracture displacement, which are often associated with non-operative care. Additionally, data from this study will be useful in identifying patient-specific predictors of improved outcome which can be used to optimize treatment algorithms and more effectively counsel patients who sustain these injuries.
SPIRA-A 3D Printed Titanium Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device And Demineralized Bone Matrix Versus A PEEK Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device And Recombinant Bone Morphogenic Protein-2 Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if SPIRA-A Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device is equivalent in effectiveness and safety to PEEK Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage with rhBMP-2 when used in instrumented lumbar fusions.
