This protocol is designed to study Orthofix regulatory approved and commercially available spine devices to generate Real World Evidence (RWE) of device safety and performance in the treatment of patients with spine injuries and/or disorders following the local medical standard of care. The clinical data generated from this study will support compliance to global regulatory requirements including but not limited to the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) for the applicable devices.

Primary Safety Assessment: Device or procedure related adverse events
Evaluation of device related or procedure related adverse events
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Primary Effectiveness Assessments: Fusion status measured radiographs
Fusion status measured utilizing quantitative and qualitative radiographic assessments as applicable
Time frame: Intra-operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Primary Effectiveness Assessment
Improvement in pain measured with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) or Numeric Rating Scale (NRS): NRS is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain. Patients rate their current pain intensity at the time of the visit from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain") by selecting a number on a horizontal bar. NRS scores for the evaluation of pain have been categorized as mild (1-3), moderate (4-6), or severe (7-10). VAS scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain."
Time frame: Intra-operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Primary Effectiveness Assessment
Improvement in function as measured with Neck Disability Index (NDI) or Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). NDI includes 4 items that relate to subjective symptomatology (pain severity, headache, concentration, sleeping) and 6 items that relate to activities of daily living (lifting, work, driving, recreation, personal care, reading). Each item is scored from 0 to 5, with higher scores corresponding to greater disability. A total NDI score is determined by adding the scores of the individual questions and dividing that total by the maximum possible score (i.e., 50 if all questions are answered) to yield a percentage. Therefore, the NDI score ranges from 0 to 100. The ODI was developed as a specific outcomes tool for subjects suffering from back pain. The questionnaire scores 10 aspects of the subject's home and work life and analgesic use. The disability index is then calculated as a percentage with a high percentage indicating a high level of disability.
Time frame: Intra-operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative

Secondary Safety Assessments: Additional required medical treatments and/or supplemental surgical procedure
Additional required medical treatments and/or supplemental surgical procedure(s) at the index level (including revision, removal, reoperation, or supplemental fixation). Percentage of patients that required additional/supplemental treatments and/or surgical procedures and time to additional surgery.
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Quality of Life assessment
Quality of Life score measured utilizing PROMIS-29 PROMIS®-29 Profile v2. PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) is a set of person-centered measures that evaluates and monitors physical, mental, and social health in adults and children. It can be used with the general population and with individuals living with chronic conditions. This instrument is comprised of 8 constructs: Physical Function; Anxiety; Depression; Fatigue; Sleep Disturbance; Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities; Pain Interference; and Pain Intensity that closely evaluate the impact of a patient's health on their quality of life
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Changes in neurological function
Maintenance or improvement in neurological function Neurological function will be evaluated, where neurological examination is performed as part of standard of care. The outcome of neurological function assessment (normal versus abnormal) and details related to abnormal sensory function (i.e. absent/impaired/normal/other) will be collected as appropriate.
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Work and Activity status
Work/Activity status Return to Work: The ability to and the time it takes for the subjects to return to work from the date of surgery will be documented. Return to Normal/Usual activities: The ability to and the time it takes for the subjects to return to normal daily activities from the date of surgery will be documented.
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction At ≥ 6-months after the index procedure, subjects will be asked how satisfied they are with the results of their surgery on a 5-point Likert Scale (Very Satisfied; Satisfied; Neutral; Unsatisfied; Very Unsatisfied).
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Duration of Surgery
Surgery time
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Effectiveness Assessments: Duration of Hospital stay
Length of hospital stay
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
Secondary Safety Assessments: Device and/or procedure-related deficiencies
Quantitative and qualitative radiographic assessments for evidence of device and/or procedure-related deficiencies. Inadequacy of a medical device with respect to its identity, quality, durability, reliability, usability, safety or performance will be documented. Percentage of patients with device deficiency will be reported
Time frame: Pre-Operative to up to 10-years Post-Operative
