Biological Breakthrough Eases Spine Fusion Surgery
Biological Breakthrough Eases Spine Fusion Surgery
People who received the InFUSE grafts spent less time in surgery and had less blood loss. And they completely avoided bone removal from their hip -- an extra operation that left about a third of the bone-graft people with lasting pain.
Both groups had more than a 50% improvement in their pain following surgery.
Studies are underway to compare the InFUSE system with bone graft in people who undergo the more traumatic spinal fusion surgery in which the surgeon must get to the spine from the back.
