In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Previous clinical study carried out on cancer patients at IOR Spine Surgery (approved in October 2014). The carbon device is indicated in patients suffering from vertebral tumors who need stabilization and will then carry out radiotherapy, because carbon has a practically zero level of interference with ionizing radiation. Carbon also allows for better visualization of the implants on MRI/CT and X-ray. There are no studies in the literature analyzing the use of carbon fiber devices in lumbar degenerative pathologies. 118 patients suffering from degenerative spinal pathology requiring 1 or 2 levels of lumbar or lumbosacral fusion will be valutated.
