Brief Summary

This study is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the rhBMP-2/ACS/LT-CAGE® Device using laparoscopic surgical technique as compared to an historical control group treated with Autogenous Bone/LT-CAGE® Device using an open surgical technique in patients with symptomatic degenerative disc disease.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Has degenerative disc disease as noted by back pain of discogenic origin, with or without leg pain, with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history ( e.g.,pain \[leg, back, or symptoms in the sciatic nerve distribution\], function deficit and/or neurological deficit)and radiographic studies ( e.g., CT, MRl, X-Ray, etc.) to include one or more of the following:
• instability( defined as angular motion \> 5° and/or translation \>= 2-4mm, based on Flex/Ext radiographs);
• osteophyte formation;
• decreased disc height;
• thickening of ligamentous tissue;
• disc degeneration or herniation; and/or
• facet joint degeneration.
• Has preoperative Oswestry score \> 35.
• Has no greater than Grade 1 spondylolisthesis utilizing Meyerding's Classification (Meyerding HW, 1932.).
• Has single-level symptomatic degenerative involvement from L4 to S1.
• Is at least 18 years of age, inclusive, at the time of surgery.
• Has not responded to non-operative treatment (e.g., bed rest, physical therapy, medications, spinal injections, manipulation, and/or TENS) for a period of at least 6 months.
• If female of child-bearing potential, who is not pregnant or nursing, and who agrees to use adequate contraception for 16 weeks following surgery.
• Is willing and able to comply with the study plan and sign the Patient Informed Consent Form.

You may not qualify if:

• Had previous anterior spinal fusion surgical procedure at the involved level.
• Has posterior spinal instrumentation (which will not be removed) stabilizing the involved level or has had a previous posterior lumbar interbody fusion procedure at the involved level.
• Has a condition which requires postoperative medications that interfere with fusion, such as steroids.
• Has been previously diagnosed with osteopenia, osteoporosis, or osteomalacia to a degree that spinal instrumentation would be contraindicated.
• Has presence of active malignancy.
• Has overt or active bacterial infection, either local or systemic.
• Is grossly obese, i.e., weight \> 40% over ideal for their age and height.
• Has fever ( temperature \> 101° F oral) at the time of surgery.
• Has a documented titanium alloy allergy or intolerance.
• Is mentally incompetent. if questionable, obtain psychiatric consult.
• Has a Waddell Signs of Inorganic Behavior score of 3 or greater.
• Is a prisoner.
• Is an alcohol and/or drug abuser as defined by currently undergoing treatment for alcohol and/or drug usage.
• Is a tobacco user at the time of surgery.
• Has received drugs which may interfere with bone metabolism within two weeks prior to the planned date of spinal fusion surgery (e.g., steroids or methotrexate).
