Official title
A Safety and Efficacy Comparison of Preservon Treated Allograft Bone Dowels Versus Traditional Freeze-Dried Allograft Bone Dowels for Fusion of Degenerated Cervical Intervertebral Discs in the Treatment of Cervical Radiculopathy or Myelopathy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of Preservon(TM) treated allograft bone dowels to traditional freeze-dried allograft bone dowels (control) for fusion of degenerated cervical intervertebral discs in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy. Patient follow-up will be conducted at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. At 3 months after surgery, the implanted bone dowels will be assessed for subsidence; at 6 months after surgery, the implanted bone dowels will be assessed for fusion. Patients will complete questionnaires and x-rays taken at each visit. The degree of subsidence and rate of fusion will be assessed based on the evaluation of the x-rays taken. The x-ray evaluation will be conducted by a neurosurgeon who is blinded to the type of treatment that each patient has received.
