The purpose of this trial is to collect clinical outcomes including radiographic and CT outcomes in patients who undergo interbody spinal fusion using the EVOS Lumbar Interbody System.
This prospective, non-comparative, multi-center, post-market trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhance Interbody Cages System - EVOS- HA in patients suffering from degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis in the lumbar spine. The trial will capture clinical outcomes, radiographic and CT outcomes over a 24 month period post operatively. Two centers will be involved in the recruitment of 30 patients. All patients will be drawn from clinics which focus on this type of treatment.

Interbody fusion rate
Interbody fusion will be graded in accordance with Cook et al. 2004 where bridging bone is graded along the superior and inferior interfaces separately in 25% increments.
Time frame: 6 months post - operatively
To measure how much pain the subject is in according to a pain scale - 0-10
Visual Analogue Scale for back and leg - 0 - 10 cm (no pain - worst possible pain)
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post operatively
To measure the Quality of Life of the subject according to a set list of questions: Questionnaire SF-12
Questionnaire SF-12 collection of questions health related to assess vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions, emotional and physical functioning, social and mental health. Patients will pick from a set list of answers for each health related question. The responses on each item are scored and summarized into Physical and Mental Health Composite Scores (PCS \& MCS) and range from 0 to 100. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.
Time frame: pre-operatively, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post operatively
Functional Impairment
Questionnaire ODI ( Oswestry Disability Index) - disability questionnaire uses to assess functional impairment of the patient. Regarding lifting, ability to walk, sit, stand sleep, travel graded by score of 0-100 (0 = no disability and 100- maximum disability possible)
Time frame: pre-operatively, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post operatively
