Sponsor's own description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using calcium sulfate beads that contain vancomycin (an antibiotic) and pain-relieving medicines during spine surgery can improve recovery compared to standard care with intravenous (IV) morphine and local pain medicines. Researchers want to know if the sustained release formulation of morphine from these calcium sulfate beads affect: * Postoperative length of stay * Postoperative pain scores * Postoperative narcotic analgesic requirements All participants in this study will already be scheduled to have spine surgery as part of their regular medical care. During surgery, participants will be assigned to receive either intraoperative placement of calcium sulfate beads with vancomycin alone or vancomycin with morphine and bupivacaine. All patients will still have access to standard of care with IV and PO pain regimens. Participants will then be followed after surgery to measure their pain, recovery, and medication use. Participation is voluntary, and choosing not to join will not affect a person's medical care.
