U.S., Oct. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07891663) titled 'Comparing Lumbar Fusion With and Without Stress Endplate Augmentation in Patients With Low Bone Mass' on Oct. 18.
Brief Summary: Degenerative lumbar disease can cause back pain, leg pain, and difficulty with daily activities. Some patients require lumbar fusion surgery. In patients with low bone mass, the bones may provide less support for the interbody cage, an implant placed between two vertebrae. The cage may sink into the surrounding bone after surgery, a complication known as cage subsidence. Stress endplate augmentation strengthens the bone near the surfaces supporting the cage, but its benefits and risks require further evalu...
