Carbofix Pedicle Screw System: Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of the Use of a Carbon Fiber Device Compared to Titanium Devices in Patients Undergoing Spinal Arthrodesis for Degenerative Spinal Diseases

This clinical trial aims to compare the outcomes of using a carbon fiber device versus traditional titanium devices in patients who need spinal fusion surgery due to degenerative spinal diseases. Degenerative spinal diseases involve the gradual deterioration of the spine, leading to pain and mobility issues. The study focuses on patients requiring fusion at one or two levels in the lower back region. Carbon fiber devices are of interest because they do not interfere with imaging techniques like MRI and X-rays and have previously been used effectively in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. This trial could reveal whether carbon fiber offers better or comparable results to titanium, which is the standard material currently used. Participants in the study will undergo spinal fusion surgery, where either a carbon fiber or titanium device will be implanted to stabilize the spine. The study will observe the clinical and radiographic outcomes, meaning it will look at both the physical recovery and the images of the spine post-surgery to assess how well the devices are working. By comparing these two materials, researchers hope to determine which provides better stabilization and visualization benefits without compromising the patient's recovery or effectiveness of the treatment.
