Lateral Interbody Fusion

 
 

Richard Wupperman, M.D. , is the principal investigator for this IRB-approved clinical outcomes trial.  The eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) uses an FDA-approved device developed by Nuvasive, Inc. for minimally invasive spinal fusion.  It can be used to treat a variety of spinal disorders caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD) in adults, including spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, and scoliosis.

Dr. Wupperman is currently enrolling patients in this study.

In the XLIF, the surgeon performs the discectomy and fusion through a tube placed through the patient's side.  Patients must be between 18 and 89 years of age to participate.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate

 
 

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) from SpineSmith is being compared to the current gold-standard in spinal fusions, Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP).

 

We are currently enrolling patients for this U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Randomized Clinical Trial.  Please contact our office for more information.
