Proprio Spine Measurement Tool

Stopped: Budgeting Concerns

United States0Started 2026-04-20

Plain-language summary

This study will prospectively collect data to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intraoperative spinal measurement system to assist the surgeon with intraoperatively achieving pre-planned alignment-related parameters to the patient's spine. The study will also collect outcomes data to determine if achievement of these spinal alignment-related parameters result in satisfactory outcomes and if it reduces the rate of secondary surgeries. Objectives Primary: To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intraoperative spinal measurement system to assist the surgeon with achieving the surgeon's preplanned alignment-related parameters intraoperatively. Secondary: To determine if there is a correlation between 1) achievement of preoperative planned alignment-related parameters intraoperatively, and 2) outcomes. Hypothesis The application of the intraoperative spinal measurement tool for patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery will improve the surgeon's ability to achieve pre-planned alignment-related parameters intraoperatively and doing so will provide improved outcomes.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients aged 18 years or older at the time of surgery * Type of Surgery: Consecutively scheduled patients where the measurement system will be used who will have thoracolumbosacral posterior spine surgery that includes spinal instrumentation and fusion and that consent to the study Exclusion Criteria: * Patients treated for traumatic injury (penetrating injuries, etc.) * Incarcerated persons * Pregnant females * Any patient current in another trial for a new implant or technique * Non-Spine Related Surgeries: Patients who had surgeries for reasons other than spine-related conditions (even if they incidentally involved the spine) * Patients having additional surgery occurring concurrently with spine surgery * Patients ineligible for surgery

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
