Patients Outside of the US
The BalancedBack Total Joint Replacement is available under clinical protocol at several sites around the world.
The Technology
Data Driven
We are a data driven team. Patients treated with BalancedBack outside of the United States have been tracked in our data registry through REDCap. A total of 89 BalancedBack Total Joint Replacement procedures have been completed at a total of 133 spinal levels in 3 clinical studies (n=7, n=12, n=70), with up to 13-year follow-up on some of the earliest cases.
BalancedBack total joint replacements have been performed from L1/L2 to L5/S1, including single-level, two-level, and three-level procedures. The device has been used in primary cases and adjacent to prior fusions as a revision strategy. The results of these pilot studies are encouraging and suggest a reasonable expectation this device could provide for more effective treatment relative to the current standard of care with a meaningful clinical improvement in function (disability), leg pain, and back pain in contrast to the current standard of care.
Patient Stories
Following is a sample of BalancedBack Total Joint Replacement patient experiences obtained from multiple OUS pilot clinical studies performed to date.
Note: This is not a complete list of patient experiences. Lumbar total joint replacement is not suitable for all patients and there are risks associated with total joint replacement. As such patient experience may differ from the samples provided.

surgery.”
