Summary

This trial compared lumbar fusion rates at 12 and 24 months after surgery using Virtuous or Autograft Bone Graft.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) needing lumbar spine fusion surgery at 1-2 levels. They must have tried conservative care for 6+ months without relief, and can't be pregnant or planning pregnancy within two years post-surgery. Prior lumbar fusion or treatment for malignancy in the last five years disqualifies them.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of a bone graft material called Virtuos against traditional Autograft Bone Graft in lumbar spine fusion surgeries after 12 and 24 months. The surgical approach includes TLIF with posterior fixation, following FDA guidelines.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, typical risks may include pain at the graft site, infection, nerve damage, blood clots, graft rejection or failure to fuse properly which might necessitate additional surgeries.
