About this study

Official title: Prospective, Observational Study of Anterior Bridging Cage Augmented With Bone Substitute Versus Localized Autobone in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Arthrodesis

The purpose of this study is to evaluation for the pattern of bone bridging of patients who undergo transforaminal lumbar interbody arthrodesis, the investigators hypothesize that auto local bone mixed with β-calcium phosphate + hydroxyapatite (OSTEON 2, Genoss) is not inferior to auto local bone only. In addition, the investigators will analyze anterior new bone bridging pattern between anterior bridging cage newly developed and grafted bone in anterior disc space.

Read the detailed description

A single center, observational, single arm study to evaluate the efficacy of auto local bone mixed with β-calcium phosphate + hydroxyapatite using interbody fusion assessment on multi-axial CT scan. Its active comparator is auto local bone.

Anterior bridging bone between anterior grafted bone and inserted cage will be assessed by using newly developed anterior bridging cage as well as interbody bone bridging between two vertebral bodies on multi-axial reconstructed CT scan.

The patients undergoes arthrodesis surgery will have two cages, one augmented with auto local bone will be located at left side of disc space and the other cage augmented with auto local bone mixed with β-calcium phosphate + hydroxyapatite at right side of disc space.

Left cage- auto boneExperimentalAt the operated segment, left cage was filled with auto bone only. We evaluated bone bridging between inside and outside the cage in transforaminal lumbar interbody arthrodesis.

Right cage- auto local bone mixed with β-calcium phosphate + hydroxyapatiteExperimentalAt the operated segment, right cage was filled with auto local bone mixed with β-calcium phosphate + hydroxyapatite. We evaluated bone bridging between inside and outside the cage in transforaminal lumbar interbody arthrodesis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. InCBB of Both Cages

    We used the concept of InCBB (intra-cage bridging bone) to evaluate the fusion status. InCBB was defined as the bridging bone between the upper and lower vertebrae through the void of the cage(s) and divided into right (Rt.) and left (Lt.) InCBB according to the cage position. We graded bridging scores from 0 to 2 based on the degree of completion of the bridging bone in InCBBs (grade 0: no bridging at the superior and inferior endplates; grade 1: incomplete bridging; bridging at the superior or inferior endplate, but with a clear radiolucent line; grade 2: complete bridging).

    Measured: 12 month postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ABB (Anterior Bone Bridging) Between Cage and Anterior Grafted Bone

    We defined ABB as the bridging bone between the extra-cage grafted bone and intra-cage grafted bone through the holes in each cage. Since the cages used in this study each have 4 anterior holes, there can be a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 8 ABBs in a patient.

    Measured: 12 month postoperatively
