Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
The association between sacroiliac joint-related pain following lumbar spine surgery and spinopelvic parameters: a prospective multicenter study.
To prospectively calculate the incidence of postoperative sacroiliac joint-related pain (SIJP) and investigate the association between spinopelvic parameters and postoperative SIJP after lumbar spine surgery. ⋯ The incidence of postoperative SIJP after lumbar spine surgery was 3.0%. Higher PI values were associated with a higher risk of postoperative SIJP. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.

Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
A prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-center study of intraosseous basivertebral nerve ablation for the treatment of chronic low back pain.
A prospective, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the effectiveness of intraosseous radio frequency (RF) ablation of the basivertebral nerve (BVN) for the treatment of vertebrogenic-related chronic low back pain (CLBP) in typical spine practice settings using permissive criteria for study inclusion. ⋯ Minimally invasive RF ablation of the BVN demonstrated a significant improvement in pain and function in this population of real-world patients with chronic vertebrogenic-related LBP.

Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Evaluation of an increased strut porosity silicate-substituted calcium phosphate, SiCaP EP, as a synthetic bone graft substitute in spinal fusion surgery: a prospective, open-label study.
Silicate-substituted calcium phosphate-enhanced porosity (SiCaP EP, Inductigraft™, Altapore) is a synthetic bone graft material with enhanced strut porosity of 31-47%. SiCaP EP remains to be fully clinically evaluated in patients undergoing instrumented posterolateral fusion (PLF) surgery. We conducted a prospective, open-label, non-randomised, multicentre clinical study to evaluate efficacy of SiCaP EP as bone grafting material in PLF surgery with instrumentation for treatment of spinal disorders. ⋯ NCT01452022 These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
