Conduit Cages and Fibergraft BG Putty for Degenerative Disc Disease and Herniated Discs

This observational study is looking at how well "Conduit cages" and "Fibergraft BG Putty" work together for people needing spine surgery due to degenerative disc disease or herniated discs. Conduit cages help restore disc height and encourage bones to fuse together, while Fibergraft BG Putty is designed to help bone heal naturally. Researchers want to see if using both of these devices leads to successful bone fusion. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc in your neck or lower back. The study aims to enroll 100 participants. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch how the treatment works in people who are already getting spine surgery. It plans to include 100 participants.
What's involved
You would be recruited from a clinic if you need spine surgery and meet the study's criteria. Consent for the study would be signed at the same time as consent for your surgery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your progress will be checked at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after surgery to see if bone fusion has occurred.
