This research project compares the clinical performance of the cortical bone trajectory CBT insertion technique with the current clinical Gold standard, the Pedicle screw insertion technique. Both techniques are performed by aid of MySpine patient-specific guide systems.
Adult subjects, among those whose clinical condition makes them eligible for a spinal stabilization and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria, will be invited to participate to the research project and ask to sign a consent in order to further use of personal and clinical data collected during standard practice visit. The primary objective of the research project is to compare clinical outcomes, in terms of assessing the main outcomes of importance to patients with back problems (pain, function, symptom-specific well-being, quality of life, disability), of spine surgery with cortical bone trajectory screw placement technique respect the traditional pedicle screw placement technique. Preoperative data and collected during visit as per standard routine at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months postop will be recoreded and assessed for the purpose of this research project.

Change in Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) for the assessment of people affected by degenerative lumbar disease in daily practice
Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
Spine Disability index
questionnaire for assessing functional status and quality-of-life impairment in patients with low back pain or spinal cord disease and injury in research and clinical settings. he index enquires about functional limitations in various activities of daily living with the index score ranging from 1 (best) to 100 (worst). Among others, pain intensity, personal hygiene, walking, sleeping, social life, sexual life (optional) and travel are assessed by the patient. Each section has six possible responses, which are scored from 0 to 5.
Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
Pain perception
A visual analog scale (from no pain "0" to severe pain "10") to evaluate low back pain
Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
Bone fusion
A postoperative CT scan will be performed to asses bone fusion at index level defining the presence of bridging bone.
Time frame: baseline, 12 months
