A Prospective Patient Registry for Bone Graft Substitutes in Spinal Fusion: Patient Outcomes and Use in Clinical Practice

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.

• 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.
