About this trial

The purpose of this study is to describe the impact of the iFuse Bedrock technique to decrease post-operative pains in patients who underwent multilevel posterior lumbosacral fusion.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject scheduled for open posterior lumbosacral arthrodesis (including at least the following three vertebrae: L4, L5 and S1) associated with a sacroiliac fusion procedure and iliac fixation (thoracolumbar fusion procedures extended to sacrum are eligible in the study);

Insertion of at least 1 iFuse-3D implant according to the iFuse Bedrock technique (uni- and bilateral insertion are eligible);

Subject who preoperatively responded positively to pain provocation tests for SIJ dysfunction with or without a positive SIJ infiltration test;

Patient with a degenerative sacroiliac joint disease requested a fusion procedure;

Disqualifiers

Major osteoporosis (DEXA scan > 3);

Any previous history of sacroiliac joint fusion or any surgical procedure involving a S2-iliac fusion;

Subjects requested a SIJ fusion without the iFuse-3D device or iFuse-3D not inserted according to the manufacturer instruction (Bedrock technique);

Subjects with a medical or surgical contraindication preventing the intervention from being performed or potentially interfering in the interpretation of the data collected (neurologic condition, local or systemic infection, any known allergy to surgical implants, psychiatric diseases, ...);

Trial population

All participants enrolled in the study are adult subjects who underwent an open posterior lumbosacral fusion procedure with additional sacroiliac joint fusion according to the iFuse Bedrock technique (insertion of the iFUSE-3D implant). Lumbosacral fusion involved at least the following vertebrae : L4, L5 and S1.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change from baseline in self-reported Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at 12 months

A decrease of 16 points in the ODI score at 12 months compared to the preoperative score is expected in order to demonstrate a 30% effecacy of the iFuse Bedrock technique in reducing postoperative pain.

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Change from baseline in sacroiliac joint pain provocation tests.

The number of positive SIJ pain provocation tests (Östgaard test, Faber test, Gaenslen test, Lasegue test, Compression, Long ligament test) performed at 3, 6 and 12 months will be compared against baseline (preoperative).

Time frame
During 12 months
2

Assessment of the Oswestry Disability Index

Change from baseline in self reported Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score at 3 and 6 months.

Time frame
3 and 6 months
3

Improvement of back and leg pains at 3, 6 and 12 months compared to preoperative scores

Back and leg pain intensity self-report will be assessed before and after initial procedure for each patient (at 3, 6 and 12 months) using a 0 to 10 visual analog scale (0: no pain ; 10: most imaginable pain).

Time frame
3, 6 and 12 months
4

Change in Patient's quality of life

Change from baseline in self reported 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) score at 3, 6 and 12 months.

Time frame
3, 6 and 12 months
