$AMDA— Here is some more detail from the news yesterday. The CASCADE study enrolled patients in a prospective trial that independently scored fusion rates and clinical outcomes at 24 months. The study was designed to compare the effects of Amedica’s porous silicon nitride versus bone autograft – the patient’s own bone – on patient outcomes. The silicon nitride interbody device was wetted with blood from the surgery site, but had no extrinsic bone graft material added to it. The control group was a PEEK, plastic, cage filled with bone autograft harvested during the decompressive discectomy. Results showed comparable clinical and radiographic performance between porous silicon nitride and bone autograft through a number of validated scientific clinical outcome measures
