Study Summary
The purpose of this research is to test if that combining bone marrow aspirate (removing bone marrow with a needle) concentration with locally harvested (collected) autograft (patient's own bone from another part of the body) for use as the bone graft results in equal rates of a successful procedure (fusion), as compared to current best practice in high-risk patients undergoing posterior cervical fusion. Hypothesis: Bone marrow aspirate concentration combined with locally harvested autograft results in equivalent rates of bony fusion, as compared to current best practice in high-risk patients undergoing posterior cervical decompression and fusion.
Primary Outcome
Rate of fusion - (6, 12, and 24 months) Rate of fusion will be assessed by flexion extension X-rays at routine follow-up, translation method (\<2mm) and/or by computed tomography (CT) scan at 2 year post-operatively.
Interventions
- BIOLOGICAL locally harvested autograft, demineralized bone matrix, and cadaveric allograft
- BIOLOGICAL Bone Marrow Aspirate
