SPINE CLINICAL STUDIES
INCREASED SPINAL LUMBAR FUSION WITH COMBINED MAGNETIC FIELD (CMF ™ ) BONE GROWTH STIMULATION ELSABEH R, STEGALL R, ABRAHAMS J (2020) J ORTHOP SURG TECH 2020 3(1):84-91 SUMMARY: The purpose of this study was to evaluate DJO ® Spinalogic ® treatment following lumbar fusion in a retrospective analysis. The study utilized both clinical and radiographic fusion criteria, included data from 11 surgeons and consisted of a heterogenous patient population. The study included 316 patients, with some patients having limited data availability. Patients were followed for a minimum of 6 months. Adjunct CMF ™ treatment was associated with significantly shorter time to fusion of 166 days compared to 244 days for patients did not receive and bone growth stimulation (p = 0.002). In conclusion, treatment with the Spinalogic device following lumbar fusion surgery improved time to fusion compared to patients that received no stimulation.
“ CMF ™ TREATMENT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER TIME TO FUSION ”
