Brief Summary
This protocol is designed to study Orthofix regulatory approved and commercially available spine devices to generate Real World Evidence (RWE) of device safety and performance in the treatment of patients with spine injuries and/or disorders following the local medical standard of care. The clinical data generated from this study will support compliance to global regulatory requirements including but not limited to the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) for the applicable devices.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Primary Safety Assessment: Device or procedure related adverse events
Evaluation of device related or procedure related adverse events
Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Primary Effectiveness Assessments: Fusion status measured radiographs
Fusion status measured utilizing quantitative and qualitative radiographic assessments as applicable
Intra-operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Primary Effectiveness Assessment
Improvement in pain measured with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) or Numeric Rating Scale (NRS): NRS is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain. Patients rate their current pain intensity at the time of the visit from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain") by selecting a number on a horizontal bar. NRS scores for the evaluation of pain have been categorized as mild (1-3), moderate (4-6), or severe (7-10). VAS scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain."
Intra-operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Primary Effectiveness Assessment
Improvement in function as measured with Neck Disability Index (NDI) or Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). NDI includes 4 items that relate to subjective symptomatology (pain severity, headache, concentration, sleeping) and 6 items that relate to activities of daily living (lifting, work, driving, recreation, personal care, reading). Each item is scored from 0 to 5, with higher scores corresponding to greater disability. A total NDI score is determined by adding the scores of the individual questions and dividing that total by the maximum possible score (i.e., 50 if all questions are answered) to yield a percentage. Therefore, the NDI score ranges from 0 to 100. The ODI was developed as a specific outcomes tool for subjects suffering from back pain. The questionnaire scores 10 aspects of the subject's home and work life and analgesic use. The disability index is then calculated as a percentage with a high percentage indicating a high level of disability.
Intra-operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Secondary Safety Assessments: Additional required medical treatments and/or supplemental surgical procedure
Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Quality of Life assessment
Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Changes in neurological function
Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Work and Activity status
Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Patient Satisfaction
Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
- +3 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria
Both retrospective and prospective study subjects have spinal injuries/disorders requiring treatment with an Orthofix Spine device. The three types of subject enrollment include: 1. Retrospective data collection only 2. Prospective data collection only 3. Retrospective and prospective data collection
You may qualify if:
- Patient diagnosed with a spine injury/disorder and undergoing or has undergone spine procedure at the participating investigative centers utilizing Orthofix Spine devices.
- Patient is 18 years or older at the time of surgery.
- Patient is capable of understanding the content of the patient information / Informed Consent Form (ICF) for the prospective segment of the study.
- Patient is willing and able to participate in the prospective data collection protocol and comply with the required data collection.
- Note: For retrospective segment of the study: A waiver of consent for retrospective data collection is in place OR an informed consent is obtained from the participating patient prior to data collection as required by local regulations.
You may not qualify if:
- \. Patient may be excluded from study participation if there are other concurrent medical or other conditions (chronic or acute in nature) that in the opinion of the participating investigator may prevent participation or otherwise render patient ineligible for the study.
