Parent sponsor company (Baxter Healthcare) company cut funding

A multi-center, prospective, observational patient registry to collect information on the clinical outcomes and "real world" use of approved and commercially available bone graft substitutes, autograft and allograft.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The patient has failed conservative treatment and is a candidate for spinal fusion surgery.
• The patient is ≥18 years old and of legal age of consent.
• The patient is, in the investigator's opinion, psychosocially, mentally, and physically able to fully comply with this protocol, including the post-operative regimen, required follow-up visits, the filling out of required forms, and have the ability to understand and give written informed consent.
• The patient is skeletally mature (epiphyses closed).
• The patient has signed the IRB approved informed consent.
• The patient is willing and able to participate in post-operative clinical and radiographic follow up evaluations for 2 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient has systemic infection or infection at the surgical site.
• Patient has a medical condition that would interfere with post-operative assessments and care (i.e., neuromuscular disease, psychiatric disease, paraplegia, quadriplegia, etc.).
• Patient is in poor general health or any concurrent disease process that would place the patient in excessive risk to surgery (i.e., significant circulatory or pulmonary problems, or cardiac disease).
• Patient has a history (present or past) of substance abuse (recreational drugs, prescription drugs or alcohol) that in the investigator's opinion may interfere with protocol assessments and/or with the patient's ability to complete the protocol required follow-up.
• The patient is pregnant/breastfeeding at the time of enrollment, or plans to become pregnant during the course of the study.
• Patient is participating in another investigational study, which could confound results.

Patients enrolled in this study will be identified from the surgeon's medical practice and will include patients who failed conservative care and have been identified as requiring spinal fusion surgery.
