This study is designed to collect real world evidence (RWE) safety and efficacy data on patients who plan to undergo a single-level Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) instrumented with pedicle screws, using the framework of a prospective clinical study (with defined enrollment criteria and pre-specified research follow-up timepoints).
A prospective, multi-center (up to 25), non-blinded study of patients who plan to undergo a single-level Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) stabilized with pedicle screws. Investigators will only select those patients who are planned for treatment with on-label use of FDA cleared TLIF/PLIF devices (cage and screw system). At least 200 subjects with a potential sample size re-estimation at completion. The subjects will return for follow-up at 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months, and then annually for 5-years post surgery.

OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
176
The TLIF/PLIF system includes a TLIF/PLIF interbody cage and a pedicle screw system (4 screws with 2 rods). Any FDA cleared TLIF/PLIF interbody cage and pedicle screw system is acceptable for this study (with the exception of PEEK rods) as long as it is implanted per the package insert. No subjects implanted with an off-label use of a device are permitted for this study.

Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Score
Improvement of at least 15 points in ODI score (out of 100). The ODI is a self-reported questionnaire that contains ten sections concerning intensity of pain, lifting, personal care, walking, sitting, sexual function, standing, social life, sleeping and traveling.
Time frame: 24 months compared to baseline
Neurological Status
Absence of deterioration in neurological status compared to baseline examinations. Neurological examination will consist of a motor and sensory examination at each in person study visit conducted per physician standard of care.
Time frame: 24 months compared to baseline
Secondary surgical intervention (SSI)
Subject success will be determined with the absence of a secondary surgical intervention including revision, re-operation, removal, or supplemental fixation at the index level.
Time frame: 24 months
Serious device-related adverse events (SDAE)
Subject success will be determined with the absence of any serious device-related adverse events (SDAE)
Time frame: 24 months
Visual Analog Score (VAS) - Worst Leg
Improvement in VAS - Worst leg of 20mm at 24 months compared to baseline. The VAS is a measurement instrument that measures the amount of pain that a subject feels ranges across a continuum from none to an extreme amount of pain.
Time frame: 24 months compared to baseline
VAS - Back
Improvement in VAS - Back pain of 20mm at 24 months compared to baseline
Time frame: 24 months compared to baseline
