Enhanced Metal Reduction Techniques for Definitive CT Scanning to Assess Spinal Fusion With TM-Ardis

January 22, 2019 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

Evaluating Enhanced Metal Reduction Techniques for Definitive CT Scanning to Assess Spinal Fusion With Trabecular Metal Implants (TM-Ardis)

To determine if the subject metal reduction software helps to better visualize bone interphase and fusion reliability. Assess whether the appropriate procedural modification facilitates clearer images when implanted with a trabecular metal spinal implant

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients implanted w/TM-Ardis
Patients who are receiving a TM-Ardis implant for degenerative disc disease will have a CT scan immediate post op (2 weeks) and again at 6 months to determine if fusion can be assessed with the study metal reduction software. Will utilize TM- Ardis implant and Metal Reduction CT software
TM- Ardis implant and Metal Reduction CT software
