Investigation of DEXA-C Anterior Cervical Interbody System (DEXA-C)
Degenerative Disc Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Degenerative Disc Disease focused on measuring fusion, subsidence
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Must already be scheduled or planned for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using the Dexa-C Anterior Interbody System C3-7 with supplemental fixation and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or cortico-cancellous bone meeting on-label criteria. Radicular signs and symptoms in one or both arms (i.e., pain, paresthesia or paresis in a specific nerve root distribution). Diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy at one or two contiguous levels from C3-7 requiring open anterior cervical fusion and discectomy. Diagnosis of degenerative disc disease by radiographic evidence of cervical disc herniation and/or osteophytes accompanying clinical symptoms. At least 6 weeks prior conservative treatment (i.e. physical therapy, pain medication). Exclusion Criteria: History of cervical spine surgery less than 12 months prior to surgery. Diagnosis of severe spondylosis. Patients requiring posterior cervical surgery, anterior cervical corpectomy, or revision surgery. Any member of a vulnerable population (ie. minors, adults who lack the ability to consent, pregnant women, etc.)
