Kuros Biosciences to present promising clinical case studies with MagnetOs at leading spine surgery conference
Kuros Biosciences will this week present results from several investigator-led clinical case studies of MagnetOs Granules at the 15thannual State of Spine Surgery Think Tank, a leading conference uniquely dedicated to innovation in spinal surgery.
The case studies, in which MagnetOs Granules were implanted in the spine, were performed by Alwyn Jones MB ChB, BSc, MSc, FRCS, FRSC (Orth), Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon at Spire Cardiff Hospital in the UK.
The key clinical outcomes at six months were improved back and leg pain. The most important fusion outcomes were good incorporation of MagnetOs in the posterior fusion bed, graft resorption and remodelling to bone, and progression towards fusion.
Key takeaways from the case studies were:
- MagnetOs Granules were well‐tolerated and no device related adverse events were reported in the small cohort of patients requiring spinal fusion
- MagnetOs Granules were easy to apply as a stand‐alone graft or when mixed with bone marrow aspirate (BMA) or local bone
- Resorption and remodelling of MagnetOs Granules was evident from as early as 3 months post‐implantation
- MagnetOs Granules promoted spinal fusion in a mixed cohort of patients when implanted using 5 different surgical approaches
