Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare how two different types of positioning done in the operating room will affect surgical outcomes of lumbar surgeries.

Both of these positions are routinely used by surgeons during spinal fusion. We want to know whether one position is better than the other.

Eligibility Requirements

Patients undergoing lumbar fusion will be considered for this study.

Compensation

There is no compensation for participation in this study.

For more information, contact Oren Gottfried, MD, at 919-684-4610.
