The study reflects 43 patients representing 69 total treated levels who received a CT scan at a mean of 459 days post-procedure. Fusion was assessed by three independent radiologists showing 93% of the assessed levels were fused.
There were also no instances of device migration, mechanical failures, or device related reoperations. The analysis from the radiologists demonstrated that Minuteman provides clinically meaningful fusion rates with a low risk of spinous process fracture or other device related complications.
“Thank you to Dr. Gabriel Jasper,Dr. Matthew Skoblar,Dr. Doug Beall and Dr. Tom Hedmanfor their significant contribution to this work. The purpose of this study was to evaluate lumbar spinal fusion outcomes in real-world patients instrumented with the Minuteman device,” said Adam Rogers, VP of Regulatory and Engineering. “We were able to show that patients receiving instrumented posterior arthrodesis of the lumbar spine using the Minuteman did indeed fuse at a rate comparable to other lumbar fusion constructs, and that the Minuteman performed very well mechanically with no intraoperative complications or device-related reoperations.”
