This study is comparing two FDA-approved cages used during lower back surgery. The study will look at whether one cage helps the bones in the back fuse together better than the other. Adults who are having a 1 or 2 level lumbar fusion surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the Adaptix nanoPEEK cage or the Capstone PTC cage. Participants will have follow-up visits with imaging and questionnaires to evaluate bone fusion, back and leg pain, physical function, and overall health.
This study is a single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled superiority trial at the University of Kentucky. The study will enroll adults who are undergoing a 1 or 2 level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for degenerative disc disease. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the Adaptix nanoPEEK cage or the Capstone PTC cage during their lumbar fusion surgery. Both cages are FDA-Approved and are used as part of the standard-of-care lumbar fusion surgery. The study is comparing the outcomes of the two cages to determine whether one results in…
