SPINE CLINICAL STUDIES
EFFECTIVENESS OF COMBINED MAGNETIC FIELD BONE GROWTH STIMULATION ON LUMBAR SPINAL FUSION OUTCOMES: A SINGLE CENTER RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS COMPARING COMBINED MAGNETIC FIELD TO NO-STIMULATION RAISZADEH R, RAISZADEH K, EATON L, KIM P, KIM C SUMMARY: The study aimed to evaluate DJO ® Spinalogic ® treatment following lumbar fusion in a retrospective analysis. The study utilized radiographic fusion criteria, included data from 4 surgeons and consisted of a heterogenous patient population. The study included 652 patients, with some patients having limited data availability. Patients were followed for a minimum of 6 months. The study observed that 97% of patients treated with CMF ™ (n=343) fused compared to 62% of patients that received no stimulation (n=309) (p < 0.00001). Moreover, exposure to the Spinalogic device was not associated with increased risk of post- operative complication compared to patients that did not receive a bone growth stimulator (29 vs. 22 post-operative complications, respectively).
