Observational Study to Evaluate the STALIF® C FLX, STALIF® M FLX, STALIF® L FLX Cages and FORTOS-C®

March 13, 2025 updated by: Silony Medical GmbH

Sponsor-initiated, Retrospective, Monocentric, Non-interventional Clinical Observational Study to Evaluate the STALIF® C FLX, STALIF® M FLX, STALIF® L FLX Cages and FORTOS-C®

Post-operative clinical outcome data on the devices used to treat spinal diseases are collected and evaluated in order to analyze the safety and performance of the implants used.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Neck Disability Index
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative

The Neck Disability Index (NDI) has 10 items that cover various aspects of daily functioning, such as pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation.

Scoring: Each question contains six answer choices, scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (complete disability). All section scores are then totaled. Scoring is reported on a 0-50 scale, 0 being the best possible score and 50 being the worst. Alternately, the score can be reported from 0-100. The score is often reported as a percentage (0-100%).

Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
Oswestry Disability Index
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is used to measure the extent of pain-related functional limitations in people with low back pain. The questionnaire provides the user with information about the general functional ability of a patient with low back pain in everyday life. Six response options are available for the following items: pain intensity, self-care (washing, dressing), lifting, locomotion, sitting or standing, sleeping, sex life, social life and travel/transportation. The first answer option (score 0) means that there are no pain-related restrictions, while the sixth answer option (score 5) indicates the greatest perceived restriction of an activity due to pain.
Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is usually quantified from 0 to 10, where 0 means 'no pain' and 10 means 'strongest pain imaginable'.
Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
Radiological assessment
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
  • Implant migration/ Subsidence/ Screw Back-out
  • Bone Fusion at latest follow-up
Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
Complications
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
Intraoperative and postoperative complications, revisions, and (serious) adverse events
Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
