Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Aurora Spine ZIP™ MIS Interspinous Fusion System and bone graft material based on improvement in composite endpoints relative to baseline at 3 and 12 months 1. > 20mm pain reduction in VAS Back while standing
The primary composite endpoint is individual patient success from baseline at 3- and 12-months of follow-up, which will be assessed as follows: 1. \> 20mm pain reduction in VAS Back while standing or walking 2. \> 20mm pain reduction in VAS Leg while standing or walking 3. Zurich Claudication Questionnaire improvement of 0.5 or greater in 2 or 3 domains) 4. ODI improvement of ≥ 10pts 5. No reoperations or revisions at the index level (s)
12 months
Secondary Outcomes (6)
• To demonstrate real-world evidence of a significant improvement in the Pain Impact Score using ZIP™ as measured by the PROMIS-29 relative to baseline at 3 and 12 months.
12 months
• To identify patterns related to the influence of pharmacologic agents on response to therapy (and vice versa).
12 months
To characterize patient global impression of change (PGIC) relative to baseline at 3 and 12 months.

Interventions
The intended study population are adults 18 years or older with symptomatic lumbar degenerative disc disease resulting in back pain with lower extremity symptoms and neurogenic claudication that improves with spinal flexion who are candidates for use of the Zip™ MIS Interspinous Fusion device when undergoing spinal fixation procedures.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject must provide written informed consent prior to any clinical study-related procedure.
- Subject is at least 18 years or older at the time of enrollment, skeletal mature.
- Subject has 1-2 symptomatic lumbar degenerative disease at adjacent level, T12-S1, with or without grade I spondylolisthesis (confirmed by history and radiographic studies).
- MRI within 12 months prior to the procedure with at least mild to moderate spinal stenosis at the index treatment level
- Subject has undergone at least 3 months of non-operative treatment.
- Subject presents with ZCQ physical function ≥ 2.0 at baseline.
- Subject reports relief from lumbar flexion and/or sitting.
- Subject has baseline VAS of back and/or leg pain standing or walking ≥ 50mm.
You may not qualify if:
- Subject is unable to provide written informed consent.
- Subject has had previous lumbar spine surgery at the intended treatment level (e.g., laminectomy or fusion).
- Subject has a grade II or greater spondylolisthesis on flexion and extension radiographs with 3mm instability.
- Subject has confirmed or suspected osteoporosis or osteopenia.
- Subject is enrolled, or intends to participate, in a clinical drug and/or device study (investigational device, investigational drug, new indication for a device or drug, or additional testing beyond standard of care procedures) which could confound the results of this trial as determined by the investigator.
- Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements.
- Subject is pregnant or nursing.
