Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Success

    The primary endpoint of this trial is the rate of Patient Success at 24-months defined as a composite endpoint that includes: 1. Pain -- Clinically meaningful reduction in low back pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score at 24-months post-operative. A clinically meaningful reduction is defined as a difference of at least 20 mm compared to pre-op (pre-op score minus post-op score). 2. Function -- Clinically meaningful improvement in function at 24-months post-operative. A clinically meaningful improvement is defined as a reduction of at least 15 points compared to baseline (pre-op Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score minus the post-op ODI score). 3. Fusion -- Defined as bridging bone demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) scan 4. Safety -- No device-related serious adverse events (SAEs) from intra-op through the 24-month timepoint. For the study to be a success, 68% of subjects need to meet the above success criteria.

Study Arms (1)

Investigation Group

OTHER

This is a single-arm investigation. All subjects were treated with the SIFS device filled with bone graft. Posterior fixation required.

Device: SIFS graft containment device

Interventions

The SIFS mesh is a graft containment and reinforcement device. Following conventional thorough discectomy, the disc space is entered through a small portal in the annulus, the SIFS mesh is introduced, deployed and then filled with bone graft. Bilateral commercially available posterior lumbar fixation is applied.

Also known as: SIFS mesh
