  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient is skeletally mature (21-85 years old).
  • Patient has degenerative spondylolisthesis (Grade 1-3) with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, kyphosis, and/or failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis) at index level.
  • Capable and willing to comply with the requirements unique to the study, adhere to the post-operative treatment and management program, and return for required follow-up examinations.
  • Surgeon has determined that DSS™ System is an appropriate treatment for the patient without regard to the study.

Who cannot join

  • The need for interbody cages, allograft, or any other assistance during surgery. Device is only to be used with autograft per FDA approved indications.
  • Any medical, mental or surgical condition precluding the potential benefit of spinal surgery or surgery in general.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Have an Incidence of Serious or Device Related Adverse Events Due to Device or Procedure.

    The safety endpoint is defined as the incidence of serious or device related adverse events attributable to the device or procedure. Reoperations, revisions or removals of the Dynamic Stabilization System (DSS) System implant will be evaluated.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Measurement of Lower Back Pain as Assessed by Visual Analog Scale

    Lower back pain as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst imaginable pain)

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Measurement of Right Leg Pain as Assessed by Visual Analog Scale

    Right leg pain as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst imaginable pain)

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Measurement of Left Leg Pain as Assessed by Visual Analog Scale

    Left leg pain as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst imaginable pain)

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Number of Participants With Improved Health as Measured by the EuroQOL Health Related Qualify of Life- 5 Dimensions-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L) Health Questionnaire Compared to Baseline.

    The EQ-5D-3L is a standardized instrument used as a measure of health outcomes. It contains questions in 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and provides a simple descriptive profile and single index for health status preference. In addition, there is a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is the participant's rating of their health on a scale of 0 "worst imaginable health state" to 100 "best imaginable health state".

    Measured: Pre-Op, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months

  5. Assessment of Back Pain Using the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI).

    ODI is a questionnaire that provides information on back and the affects on managing every day life by diving questions into 10 sections. The total possible score for each section is 0-5. The scores are then converted into percentages ranging from 0% (minimal disability) to 100% (maximum possible disability).

    Measured: 6 months
