New 3D-Printed spine implant shows promise in small study

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female patients who are ≥18 years of age at the time of surgery 2. Treated with XLIF procedure with the Modulus 3D-printed titanium interbody implant at: 1. One or two thoracic and/or lumbar levels for degenerative disc disease or degenerative spondylolisthesis, or 2. Any number of thoracic and/or lumbar levels for degenerative scoliosis (defined as \>10º coronal curve) 3. Interbody fusion with autograft and/or allograft 4. Any NuVasive supplemental fixation 5. Patient is able and to undergo a CT scan. If the patient already had a postoperative CT scan at 12 months or greater, this will be used in this study and an additional CT scan should not be performed for this study. 6. Patient understands the conditions of enrollment and is willing to sign an informed consent form to participate. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of any bone graft with the Modulus XLIF interbody implant that is not FDA-cleared for use in the interbody space. Examples of these include: 1. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) (e.g., Infuse (Medtronic)) 2. Synthetic bone graft extenders (e.g., AttraX (NuVasive), Formagraft (NuVasive), Mastergraft (Medtronic), Vitoss (Stryker), Actifuse (Baxter), nanOss (RTI Surgical), Fibergraft (Prosidyan/Depuy Synthes), ChronOs (Depuy Synthes)) 3. Demineralized bone matrices (DBM) regulated as medical devices by the FDA (e.g., Grafton Putty/Gel (Medtronic), DBX (MTF/Depuy Synthes), Accell Evo3 (IsoTis), Propel Putty/Gel (NuVasive)) 4. Peptide enhanced bone graft (e.g., iFactor (Cerapedics)) 2. Previous lumbar fusion surgery at the currently treated level(s) (adjacent-level surgery is acceptable) 3. Patients with active infection at the surgical site at the time of surgery 4. Patient is involved in active litigation relating to the spine (worker's compensation claim is allowed if it is not contested) 5. Patient is unwilling or unable to undergo a CT scan due to pregnancy or other medical condition 6. Patient is a prisoner 7. Patient is participating in another clinical study that would confound study data
