Study Arms (1)

A-MAV™disc

EXPERIMENTAL
Device: A-MAV™ disc

Interventions

The A-MAV™ device is a spinal arthroplasy system intended to replace a damaged spinal disc. It is inserted using an anterior surgical approach and aims to reduce low back pain and maintain disc height at the affected level.

Also known as: A-MAV™
A-MAV™disc

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

  • instability as defined by \> 5° angulation
  • osteophyte formation of facet joints or vertebral endplates
  • decreased disc height, on average by \>2mm, relative to the next adjacent vertebral segment
  • scarring/thickening of ligamentum flavum, annulus fibrosis, or facet joint capsule
  • herniated nucleus pulposus
  • facet joint degeneration/changes
  • vacuum phenomenon
  • Has single-level symptomatic degenerative involvement from L4-S1 requiring surgical treatment
  • Has intact facet joints at the involved vertebral levels documented by CT and/or MRI
  • Has preop Oswestry score≥30
  • Has preop back pain score ≥8
  • Age 18 to 70 yrs, inclusive and is skeletally mature
  • Has not responded to non-operative treatment for 6 mos
  • If child-bearing potential, patient is non-pregnant, non-nursing, and agrees not to become pregnant for 1 yr after surgery
  • +1 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Has primary diagnosis of a spinal disorder other than DDD at involved level
  • Had previous anterior lumbar spinal surgery at involved level
  • Had previous posterior lumbar spinal fusion surgical procedure at involved level
  • Had prior posterior lumbar surgery resulting in significant muscle/ligament morbidity, not including facet saving techniques
  • Requires surgical intervention at more than 1 lumbar level
  • Has severe pathology of facet joints of involved vertebral bodies
  • Has facet arthritis or any posterior element insufficiency
  • Has spondylolisthesis
  • Has mid-sagittal stenosis of \<8mm, based on remaining canal diameter
  • Has rotatory scoliosis at involved level
  • Has lumbar scoliosis with \>11° sagittal plane deformity
  • Had previous trauma to L4, L5, or S1 levels in compression or burst
  • Meets any of the following criteria: Previous diagnosis of osteoporosis, osteopenia, or osteomalacia; postmenopausal Non-Black female over 60 yrs of age and weighs less than 140 pounds; postmenopausal female that has sustained a non-traumatic hip, spine or wrist fracture; male over age 60 that has sustained a non-traumatic hip or spine fracture. If Yes to any of these, a DEXA scan is required. If level of BMD is -3.5 or lower or -2.5 or lower with vertebral crush fracture, the patient is excluded
