The purpose of this study is to obtain safety and effectiveness data on the investigational device for multi-level PLF procedures and determine the most appropriate rhBMP-2 dose for use in this indication. The study information may be used for a potential pivotal study design.

Radiological Fusion Success
Fusion at each treated level is defined as radiological fusion assessed by radiograph and CT. A subject will be considered a fusion success when the following criteria are met for each treated level: * Bilateral bridging bone (superior transverse process to the inferior transverse process) at each treated level (CT); * No more than 3mm translational motion and less than 5 degrees in angular motion at each treated level (flexion/extension radiographs); and * Absence of cracking, as evidenced by radiolucent lines completely through the fusion mass (all radiograph views).
Time frame: 12 months
Overall success rate at 12 and 24 months
Overall success is defined as the participant who meet the following five criteria: * Radiographic success, defined as radiological fusion success in the posterolateral space; * Pain/disability (ODI) success, defined as at least a 15-point improvement from baseline; * Neurological success, defined as maintenance or improvement in neurological status; * No SAE related to the PLF grafting material or posterior fixation; and * No secondary surgeries classified as a "failure."
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
ODI score at 12 and 24 months
The self-administered Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Questionnaire (Version 2.1) will be used to assess patient pain and ability to function. The ODI scale ranges from 0-100. The best score is 0 (no disability) and worst is 100 (maximum disability).
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
ODI success rate at 12 and 24 months
ODI success is defined as at least a 15-point improvement from baseline.
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Neurological success rate at 12 and 24 months
Overall neurological success is defined as maintenance or improvement in four key neurological assessments: motor function, sensory function, reflexes, and straight leg raise. In order to be considered a success, each element in the motor, sensory, reflexes, and straight leg raise examinations must remain the same or improve from the time of the preoperative evaluation to the time period evaluated.

Back pain score at 12 and 24 months
Numerical rating scales, adapted in part from Measuring Health, will be used to evaluate back pain. The back pain score (0-20) is the summation of pain intensity (0-10) and duration (0-10) scores.
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Back pain success at 12 and 24 months
Back pain success is defined as at least 30% improvement from baseline.
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Leg pain score at 12 and 24 months
Numerical rating scales, adapted in part from Measuring Health, will be used to evaluate leg pain. The leg pain score (0-20) is the summation of pain intensity (0-10) and duration (0-10) scores.
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Leg pain success at 12 and 24 months
Leg pain success is defined as at least 30% improvement from baseline.

Radiological fusion success rate at 24 months
Fusion at each treated level is defined as radiological fusion assessed by radiograph and CT. A subject will be considered a fusion success when the following criteria are met for each treated level: * Bilateral bridging bone (superior transverse process to the inferior transverse process) at each treated level (CT); * No more than 3mm translational motion and less than 5 degrees in angular motion at each treated level (flexion/extension radiographs); and * Absence of cracking, as evidenced by radiolucent lines completely through the fusion mass (all radiograph views).
