Spinal Fusions and Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices
Cervical and lumbar spinal fusions are surgical procedures that join two or more vertebrae in the spine, preventing movement between them. These surgeries are designed to alleviate pain, correct deformities, and improve stability. Intervertebral body fusion devices play a crucial role in these procedures, providing the necessary stability and promoting bone growth to achieve fusion.
Clinical Outcomes
Spinal fusion surgeries can alter the segmental range of motion (ROM) at adjacent levels and reduce overall ROM. Clinical outcomes are often assessed using disease-specific measures such as the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and visual analog scales (VAS) for neck and arm pain. Besides, overall patient satisfaction is a critical factor for the evaluation of the success of an intervention.
The recently published studies describe the success of using HA-Peek interbody cages within a treatment of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and HA-Treated Titanium Alloy interbody cagesfor lumbar interlevel fusion (LIF). Both publications analyse the data collected within Innovasis’ BioBase Registry supported by RAYLYTIC’s Unity platform and line out patient outcomes for ACDF and LIF procedures.
Innovasis, a US-based manufacturer of bioactive spinal implants, partnered with RAYLYTIC in 2018 to establish a multicenter, quality-assessment patient registry for their intervertebral body fusion devices. The BioBase Registry is a observational repository sponsored by Innovasis, reflecting their commitment to quality and patient outcomes. It allows surgeons to securely collect patient outcomes and fusion data in real-time using a HIPAA-compliant database. The registry is managed with RAYLYTIC’s Unity platform that includes various validated questionnaires, which can be customized and used on multiple devices by patients or in interview mode. The platform also features AI-assisted image assessment for radiographic analysis, including segmental ROM and absence of translational AP-motion or instability.
