For the study, researchers evaluated 85 patients who underwent lumbar fusion with the ASPEN system. An independent radiologist used post-operative CT imaging to assess posterior fusion, as well as interbody fusion when applicable, and found it was successfully achieved in 94 percent of patients. Researchers also found significant and sustained improvements in pain reduction.
The ASPEN system is currently being used in a wide range of surgical applications including posterior lumbar fusions and interbody fusions for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal trauma or spinal tumor.
