Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This is a parallel, randomized controlled trial comparing two types of patient positioning and their effect on radiologic measures (pre-surgery visit, in the operating room prior to surgery, at the conclusion of surgery, and at 3 weeks after surgery at patients' postoperative visits) as well as surgeon satisfaction (prior to the end of the surgery) and patient outcomes using patient self reported scales (pre-surgery, post surgery at 3 weeks follow-up).
