Lumbar Interbody Implant Study

Open to people ages 18 years and up

1. Patients who are ≥18 years of age at the time of consent
2. Planned spine surgery using interbody implants at:
   1. One or two adjacent thoracic, lumbar, and/or lumbosacral levels for degenerative disc disease or degenerative spondylolisthesis, or
   2. One or two adjacent thoracic, lumbar, and/or lumbosacral levels for spinal stenosis (not applicable for MLX, TLX, or XLX ACR), or
   3. Any number of thoracic, lumbar, and/or lumbosacral levels for degenerative scoliosis (defined as >10º coronal curve), or
   4. Any number of thoracic, lumbar, and/or lumbosacral levels for sagittal deformity (not applicable for MLX, TLX, or XLX ACR).
3. Use of one of the following implants (NuVasive, Inc., San Diego, CA):
   1. Base Interfixated
   2. Brigade Interfixated
   3. Coalesce Thoracolumbar
   4. Cohere TLIF
   5. Cohere XLIF
   6. Coroent Ti PLIF
   7. Coroent Ti TLIF
   8. Coroent Ti XLIF
   9. MLX
   10. Modulus ALIF
   11. Modulus TLIF
   12. Modulus XLIF
   13. TLX
   14. XLX ACR
4. Interbody fusion with one or more of the following (as allowed by implant type):
   1. autograft
   2. allograft (i.e., cancellous and/or corticocancellous allograft bone)
   3. Attrax Putty (NuVasive) (not applicable for MLX, TLX, or XLX ACR)
5. NuVasive supplemental internal fixation cleared by the applicable regulatory body for use in the thoracolumbar spine (unless the interbody device to be used is interfixated and is cleared by the regulatory body to be used standalone)
6. Able to undergo surgery based on physical exam, medical history, and surgeon judgment
7. Understands the conditions of enrollment, is willing to follow medical advice including postoperative activity restrictions per the surgeon's standard of care, and is willing to sign an informed consent form to participate in the study

1. Use of any bone graft that is not cleared by the applicable regulatory body for use within interbody implants. Examples of these include:
   1. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) (e.g., Infuse (Medtronic))
   2. Synthetic bone graft extenders (e.g., Attrax Scaffold (NuVasive), Formagraft (NuVasive), Mastergraft (Medtronic), Vitoss (Stryker), Actifuse (Baxter), nanOss (RTI Surgical), Fibergraft (Prosidyan/Depuy Synthes), ChronOs (Depuy Synthes))
   3. Demineralized bone matrices (DBM) regulated as medical devices by the FDA (e.g., Grafton Putty/Gel (Medtronic), DBX (MTF/Depuy Synthes), Accell Evo3 (IsoTis), Propel Putty/Gel (NuVasive))
   4. Peptide enhanced bone graft (e.g., iFactor (Cerapedics))
2. Previous lumbar fusion surgery at the level(s) to be treated (adjacent level surgery is acceptable; prior decompression is acceptable)
3. Patient is involved in active litigation relating to the spine (worker's compensation claim is allowed if it is not contested)
4. Use of bone growth stimulators postoperatively
5. Active smoking within 6 weeks before surgery
6. Patient has known sensitivity to the materials implanted
7. Systemic or local infection (latent or active) or signs of local inflammation
8. Patient has inadequate bone stock or bone quality, or a physical or medical condition that would prohibit beneficial surgical outcomes based on surgeon judgment
9. Patient is a prisoner
10. Patient is participating in another clinical study that would confound study data
