Clinical Studies

Multi-Center Prospective Evaluation Of Complex Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery Rochester, MN
Evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and identify best practice guidelines for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, including radiographic and clinical outcomes, surgical and postoperative complications, risk factors for and revision surgery rates, and the role of standard work to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical and postoperative complications.
Prospective Radiographic And Clinical Evaluation Of Surgical Treatment For Cervical Deformity: A Multi-Center Study 2.0 Rochester, MN Multi-center, prospective, non-randomized study to evaluate outcomes of surgically treated patients with adult cervical spinal deformity.
SALVAGE Trial (Safety And CLinical Value Of AutoloGous REinfusion): A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group Trial Comparing Intraoperative Cell Salvage Versus No Cell Salvage In Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of intraoperative salvaged red blood cells on resuscitation and whether the return of salvaged red blood cells decreases the amount of intraoperative and postoperative allogenic packed red blood cell transfusions, both in terms of whether any allogenic blood product was provided and the number of units transfused during the hospital stay.

Dynamic Evaluation Of Spinal Alignment And Balance In Adults With Spinal Deformity Using Momentum Spine Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Momentum Spine™ application, with its newly developed dynamic spinal metrics, can accurately and feasibly assess postural parameters in adults with spinal deformity across the continuum of care: conservative management, before and after spinal surgery.
