Detailed Description

SAFFRON is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial of surgical fixation of sacral insufficiency or fragility fractures (SFIF) with concomitant fusion of the sacroiliac (SI) joint vs. ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • ≥ 60 years of age at screening.
  • Posterior pelvic pain correlating with fracture location that began EITHER within 14 days of a low-energy traumatic event, OR in the last 60 days in the absence of a traumatic event
  • Imaging (X-ray, CT, or MRI) showing fracture of the sacrum (unilateral or bilateral)
  • Patient is either bedbound or must use a wheelchair to cover distances more than 50ft
  • Prior to fracture, patient was able to ambulate using a cane or unassisted
  • Medically stable to undergo either surgical or non-surgical treatment of index fracture.
  • Patient is willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Patient is mentally able to comply with study protocol requirements

Exclusion

  • Patient requires surgery to address fracture in the pelvic ring (NSM not feasible)
  • Anatomic anomalies/defects that would preclude safe and/or biomechanically acceptable placement of implants across the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and into the sacrum
  • Sacral fracture potentially or definitely related to tumor
  • Any permanent implants already in the sacrum (including cement), ilium, or anterior pelvic ring that could interfere with placement of transiliac transsacral or iliosacral screws or iFuse-TORQ implants
  • History of recent (within 1 year) non-index pelvic fracture with nonunion of sacrum or ilium.
  • Other clinically active fragility fracture of spine, hip, arms, or legs that could impair recovery from sacral fracture
  • Uncontrolled psychiatric disease (e.g., dementia, schizophrenia, major depression, personality disorders) that could interfere with study participation or assessments
  • Prominent neurologic condition that would interfere with study participation including the use of electronic diaries (e.g., dementia) or recovery of mobility (e.g., severe diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis)
  • Known allergy to titanium or titanium alloys
  • Current local or systemic infection that raises the risk of surgery.
  • Known or suspected active drug or alcohol abuse, including opioids.
  • Patient lives or plans to move more than 100 miles from the site during the course of the study.
  • Current enrollment in another investigational clinical trial related to fractures or osteoporosis
