This study is a Post Market Follow Up Study to compare the fusion rates between the NanoFUSE® Bioactive Matrix (75%) w/autograft (25%) and autogenous bone in posterolateral gutter spinal fusion.
NanoFUSE® is indicated to be placed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure (i.e. the posterolateral spine and pelvis.) These defects may be surgically created osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. NanoFUSE® must be used with autograft as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine. This product provides a bone graft substitute that remodels into the recipient's skeletal system. Radiographic success will be the primary judgement of success. All patient's achieving fused or probably fused status will be judged as a success.

Radiographic Success
All patients achieving fused or probably fused status will be judged as successes at 12 months.
Time frame: 12 months
Overall patient success
Overall patient success will be based on all clinical and radiographic evaluation parameters and complications for the indication for use. Success criteria includes the following: * Presence of radiographic fusion as evidenced by identification of new bone mass * No hardware failure or screw blackout * Decreased level of pain (VAS) * Maintained or improved level of function (ODI) * Maintained or improved neurological status
Time frame: 12 months postoperatively
