Summary
This trial will study the Stryker Tritanium C interbody device for treating degenerative disc disease at one or two levels in the cervical spine.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with cervical spine issues like herniated discs or degenerative disc disease, who've tried non-surgical treatments without success. It's not for those needing more than two-level fusion, with severe obesity, infections, certain bone diseases, compromised immune systems due to treatments like chemotherapy or conditions that could affect study participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests the Tritanium C Anterior Cervical Cage in patients undergoing a one or two-level ACDF surgery between the neck and upper back (C2-T1). The goal is to assess how well this device helps bones fuse after surgery and improves patient outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical risks of spinal fusion include pain at the graft site, nerve injury leading to weakness/numbness/pain, infection risk at the surgical site and potential implant-related complications.
