Flexicore Disk Replacement Trials


FlexiCore™ Intervertebral Disc

 

The FlexiCore™ Intervertebral Disc is an investigational device. The government requires that new devices be investigated for safety and effectiveness before they can be made generally available. This study is designed to determine if symptom relief provided by the FlexiCore disc is better, worse, or the same as a fusion surgery.

 

We also want to determine if patients with the FlexiCore disc still have motion of their vertebrae, compared with patients undergoing fusion (who should have very little or no motion at the fusion site).
