- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- No
Inclusion Criteria
- •Are 18 (eighteen) years of age or older at the time of surgery.
- •Require spinal fusion using TLIF, PLF or PLIF, with the use of an interbody spacer, at 1 to 3 levels between L3-S
- •Willing and able to return for the scheduled follow-up visits, follow post-operative instructions and undergo the required radiographic exams (A/P, Lateral Neutral and Lateral Flexion/Extension X-rays) for up to 3 time points between 6 months and 24 months post-surgery (6±2 months, 12±3 months and 24±4 months post-surgery), including one CT-scan at 12±3 months.
- •Unresponsive to conservative care over a period of at least 6 months or has signs and/or symptoms that mandate urgent surgical intervention.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Are long term users of medications (i.e. steroids greater than 2-weeks) that are known to inhibit fusion or bone metabolism at any time within 6 months prior to surgery. Exceptions are inhaled steroids for asthma treatment (i.e. patients on inhaled steroids are allowed), or epidural steroid injections.
- •Are taking immunosuppressive agents (Cancer chemotherapy, treatment with Disease Modifying Anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or any similar immunomodulating drugs) or are treated with Growth Factors or Insulin at any time within 6 months prior to surgery.
- •Are being treated with radiotherapy.
- •Are having medical conditions, known to impact bone metabolism, such as Paget's disease, osteoporosis.
- •Are smokers and/or nicotine/tobacco users.
- •Are pregnant, lactating or women wishing to become pregnant.
- •Are a prisoner.
- •Are currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the study endpoints.
- •Prior spine surgery at the index level except posterior decompressive surgery where the posterior elements are preserved e.g. facet saving techniques such as discectomy, laminotomy, and intradiscal procedures.
- •Use of any other bone graft or bone graft substitute in addition to or in place of Accell Evo3® with the exception of local autograft and/or cancellous bone chips.
- •Use of routine prophylactic NSAIDS for 3 months post-operatively, but low dose concomitant pain medications e.g. aspirin should be continued and recorded on the Concomitant Pain Medications case report form (CRF).
Arms & Interventions
Prospective
Accell Evo3
Intervention: Accell Evo3 Prospective Use (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Levels With Posterolateral Fusion
Time Frame: 12 months
Assessment of fusion in the posterolateral space was performed using by X-ray and/or CT. Assessment was performed by the operating surgeon blinded towards patient. Each spinal level was graded separately
Secondary Outcomes
- Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain in the Back (VAS-back) and in the Leg (VAS-leg)(12 months)
