Study Population

Both male and female between the ages of 18 and 80 with objective evidence of degenerative disc disease between L2 and S1 at 1-2 contiguous levels.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Objective evidence of degenerative disc disease at 1 or 2 level(s) between L2 and S1 resulting from degeneration of disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.
  • At least 18 years of age and maximum 80 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

  • • Presence of systemic or localized infection at the site of surgery

    • More than 2 levels to be instrumented
    • Previous fusion attempt at the involved level(s)
    • Spondylolisthesis unable to be reduced to Grade 1
    • Previous documentation of osteopenia, osteoporosis, or osteomalacia to a degree that spinal instrumentation would be contraindicated
    • Diagnosis of a condition or on postoperative medication(s), which may interfere with bony/soft tissue healing
    • Presence of a disease entity or condition which totally precludes possibility of bony fusion (e.g. metastatic cancer, HIV, long term use of steroids, etc.)
    • History of substance abuse (drugs or alcohol)
    • Mentally incompetent or prisoner
