Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease Treated With Anterior Tension Band System (ATB) With ALIF/FRA Spacer (NCT NCT01323387)

NCT ID: NCT01323387

Last Updated: 2018-01-16

Results Overview

CT Scans and plain film x-rays will be evaluated. Demonstration of bridging trabecular bone through or external to the allograft spacer will be the measure of success.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 Months

The outcome measure is the number of subjects who achieved a 15% improvement in ODI compared to baseline. The ODI is an index derived from the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire used by clinicians and researchers to quantify disability for low back pain. ODI scores range from 0 to 100 with 0 equating to No Disability and 100 equating to the Maximum Disability Possible

Timeframe: Baseline and 24 Months

The outcome measure is the number of subjects who achieved a 15% improvement in MCS compared to baseline. The MCS (Mental Component Score) is a measurement of health status with a range of 0 to 100. A higher score indicates less disability.
