Dose Responsiveness as a Measure of Clinical Effectiveness During Neuromonitored Spine Surgery

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is a tool used by neurophysiologists during spine surgery to prevent irreversible damage to the spinal cord during procedures through a system of alerts. This study investigates the effectiveness of IONM in 300 participants receiving spine surgery. The goal of this study is to refine the alert criteria for procedures in which IONM is used.

Proprio Spine Measurement Tool

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.
