About

This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the Spineology Interbody Fusion System (SIFS) in an instrumented interbody lumbar fusion in subjects presenting with symptomatic single-level lumbar degenerative disc disease.

Full description

This regulated prospective, multi-center, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved single-arm performance goal clinical investigation was conducted at 10 centers with 102 subjects being enrolled and treated.

Subjects were actively evaluated from pre-op to 24-months postoperative. Based on enrollment duration, some subjects were remotely assessed through self-administered surveys at 36- and/or 48-months.

The primary endpoint, assessed at 24-months postoperative, is a composite score that includes pain, function, fusion and safety assessments.
