Scoliosis Surgery Using the PASS® LP System

March 20, 2018 updated by: Medicrea, USA Corp.

Idiopathic Scoliosis Treated by Posterior Spinal Instrumentation. Evaluation of the 3D Correction, Aesthetic Outcomes and Quality of Life.

The purpose of this study is to find out the outcomes of using the PASS LP System to correct idiopathic scoliosis. This system is a unique set of spinal instrumentation used to surgically correct the rotation and deformity of the spine that is caused by scoliosis. Also, this study wants to find out the effects this system has on the physical appearance and quality of life for patients with scoliosis.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical, functional and radiographic outcomes following the reduction of idiopathic scoliosis.

The following will be evaluated

  1. The 3D correction of scoliosis:

    • Reduction of scoliosis in the coronal plane (Cobb angles)
    • Correction in the sagittal plane (kyphotic and lordotic angles)
    • Correction of the axial vertebral rotation in the transverse plane
  2. The functional and aesthetic outcomes

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Intervention / Treatment

Titanium rod
Titanium rods used as a part of PSF construct
Device: Posterior Spinal Fusion Device: Titanium rod arm used titanium rods, and CoCr rod arm used Cobalt Chrome rods as a part of the construct.
PASS LP Implant System is designed to contribute to correction and surgical stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine only. These implants are designed to stabilize the spine during normal development of solid bony consolidation which takes about 18 months. The internal fixation devices are composed of screws, hooks,rods, plates, cross links, connection and locking devices. The range of different sizes and shapes of the implants allows the surgeon to adapt to the pathology and morphology of each of his patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Tridimensional radiographic correction of the scoliosis in coronal, sagittal and transverse planes
Time Frame: Preoperative, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 Years
Preoperative, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 Years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Functional and aesthetic outcomes
Time Frame: Preoperative, 6 months and 2 years
Preoperative, 6 months and 2 years
Perioperative and postoperative complications
Time Frame: Continuous during follow-up
Continuous during follow-up

Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
