The Satellite™ Retrospective Analysis is an international, retrospective, multi-center, non-interventional post-marketing study designed to document and analyze existing data with the device in a "real-world" setting. The purpose of this study is to evaluate number of adverse device effects (ADEs), serious adverse device effects (SADEs) and serious adverse event (SAEs) and early clinical effectiveness for the Satellite™ Nucleus Replacement in a standard clinical practice. Data collection will include information on health related quality of life (QoL), physical functioning and adverse event after nucleus replacement surgery. Radiographic measures will also be assessed to evaluate changes in disc height at the operated level and changes in segmental range of motion. All patients who were implanted with a Satellite™ Nucleus Replacement Prosthesis in the participating sites are eligible for participation in the Satellite ™ Retrospective Analysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of NeoFuse in subjects with a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease (DDD) at 2 or more adjacent cervical vertebral levels between C3-C4 to C7-T1. All subjects in this study will undergo 2 or 3 level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with Anterior Cervical Plate Fixation.

The population of the US is aging. They remain more active and place greater demands on their musculoskeletal system. A key problem is that pain and disability of age related spinal disorders will increase. Problems such as Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis, Degenerative Disk Disease, Spinal Stenosis and Degenerative Scoliosis are age related problems that are treated with spinal fusion when non-operative treatment fails. Traditional open surgery poses significant risk for patients in this age group. The use of minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques provides an opportunity to treat these patients with less morbidity than traditional open surgery.
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to a syndrome in which a degenerating disc causes chronic back pain, significantly impacting an individual's ability to function. The condition is most commonly diagnosed in the lumbosacral spinal segments L3-S1. The condition often starts with an injury to the disc space. The injury weakens the disc and creates excessive motion at the corresponding vertebral level. Over time, the segmental instability and associated neurological compromise combined with ongoing inflammatory processes that occur in and around the disc produce low back pain. The reparative processes in the disc are poor, thus the painful symptoms can become chronic. Premature degeneration at adjacent levels of the spine remains one of the more vexing problems facing spinal surgeons when advising relatively young people to consider lumbar fusion surgery. Stopping the motion changes the mechanics of the back (which is designed for motion and flexibility) and results in the transfer of the loads and stresses to the adjacent vertebral segments. It is therefore intuitive to pursue total disc replacement, which allows for the treatment of pain due to DDD while re-establishing motion and stability, load distribution, and restoring the disc height, as an alternative to spinal fusion surgery. The study hypothesis is that military personnel receiving Total Disc Replacement will return to the same level of active duty performance as at the time of their most recent successful physical readiness test.
Patients diagnosed with single-level degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine undergo a posterior decompression followed by a fusion complete with a spinous process plate, graft, and a biologic.
This is a prospective randomised study. Primary objective: Evaluation of success rates of Actifuse ABX and INFUSE in achieving bone fusion. Secondary objectives: Assess clinical outcome measurements.
This is a multi-center, prospective randomized clinical study to evaluate the clinical outcome of subjects with degenerative disc disease (DDD) treated with ALIF and supplemental posterior fixation using ASPEN Spinous Process System compared to pedicle screw instrumentation.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the success rates of Actifuse ABX and INFUSE in achieving bone fusion. The secondary objective of this clinical trial is to assess clinical outcome measurements.
