Adjacent Segment Disease
Decompression Versus Decompression and Fusion
Adjacent segment disease (ASD) in the lumbar spine is a well-known sequela of lumbar fusion surgery. The annual incidence of adjacent level re-operation is approximately 3% with a ten-year prevalence of 20-30%.

- NCT04542720
- Testing
- Observational: Decompression, Observational: Extension Fusion
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 96 people, healthy volunteers welcome
