Trial of Protein Supplement on Vertebral Fusion in Posterior Spine Fusion Surgery
Trial of Protein Supplement on Vertebral Fusion in Posterior Spine Fusion Surgery
NCT ID: NCT04091841 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 80 Completion: 2020-10-01
Conditions
Spine Surgery
Interventions
protein supplement, Carbo Mass
Summary
Receiving protein can affect the bone formation and maintenance by providing a structural matrix of the bone, optimizing the level of IGF-1, increasing intestinal calcium absorption, transferring phosphorous, and improving muscle strength.Therefore, protein may be effective on vertebral fusion by such mechanisms. In this trial patients undergoing elective posterior spine fusion surgery are divided into two groups of intervention or control.
Primary Outcome
Rate of vertebral fusion in CT scan
