Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if the ACADIA® Facet Replacement System is effective in the treatment of spinal stenosis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the overall success rate of the Anatomic Facet Replacement System in patients with spinal stenosis when compared to a posterior spinal fusion control.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Lumbar Spinal Stenosis | Device: Non-randomized ACADIA® Facet Replacement System Device: Randomized ACADIA® Facet Replacement System Device: Randomized Instrumented posterolateral fusion (PLF) | Not Applicable |
Spinal Stenosis continues to be a major cause of back and leg pain. The condition is attributed to narrowing of the space around the nerves in the lumbar spine. This is often caused by the degenerative process in the spine and the facet joints. The current treatment calls for removal of bone around the affected nerve including the facet joints and fusing the posterior of the spine to ensure the segments remain stable.
The ACADIA® Facet Replacement System (AFRS) allows for an anatomic reconstruction of the facet joint after decompression and removal of the degenerated facet. Like the original facet joint, the replacement implant is designed to reproduce facet motion while restoring normal stability and motion.
The ACADIA® Facet Replacement System (AFRS) has been designed on the principals that have allowed other total joint replacement procedures to provide significant patient benefits. These guiding principals include:
- Anatomically based implant design
- Reproducible surgical technique
- Elimination of pain
The ACADIA® Facet Replacement System allows the surgeon to remove the offending bone while preserving the motion of the facet joint.
This study will evaluate the outcomes of patients using the AFRS™ investigation compared to those receiving instrumented posterior fusion procedure. Patients will be required to complete study visits before the procedure and at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24 months post procedure and annually thereafter as required by FDA. Follow up visits consist of administration of questionnaires, radiographs and neurological assessment.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Measure of Pain/Disability Using the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ) Physical Function Score [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Physical Function is measured on a scale of 1-4 points (lower values are considered a better outcome)
- Measure of Pain/Disability Using the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ) Symptom Severity Score [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Symptom Severity is measured on a scale of 1-5 points (lower values are considered a better outcome)
- Number of Participants Who Maintained or Improved in Neurological Status. [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Neurological status is based on four types of measurement parameters: muscle strength, straight leg raise, sensory function, and reflexes. Each of the four parameters will be coded as Stable or Improved OR Deteriorated. Neurological assessment scores must be stable or improved compared with the preoperative baseline to be considered "Stable or Improved" neurological status. If these scores have deteriorated as compared to the preoperative baseline, then the neurological status is considered "Deteriorated".
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Mean Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Right Leg Pain [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The visual analog scale (VAS) is a questionnaire used to quantify a subjective experience, such as the intensity of pain. The scale is a 100mm line labeled with "no pain" on the left border and "as severe as it could be" on the right border. The subject is instructed to make a mark along the line to represent the intensity of right leg pain currently being experienced; 0mm is equal to no pain and 100mm is pain as severe as it could be. The clinician records the distance of the mark in millimeters from the left end of the scale.
- Mean Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Left Leg Pain [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The visual analog scale (VAS) is a questionnaire used to quantify a subjective experience, such as the intensity of pain. The scale is a 100mm line labeled with "no pain" on the left border and "as severe as it could be" on the right border. The subject is instructed to make a mark along the line to represent the intensity of left leg pain currently being experienced; 0mm is equal to no pain and 100mm is pain as severe as it could be. The clinician records the distance of the mark in millimeters from the left end of the scale.
- Mean Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Back Pain [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The visual analog scale (VAS) is a questionnaire used to quantify a subjective experience, such as the intensity of pain. The scale is a 100mm line labeled with "no pain" on the left border and "as severe as it could be" on the right border. The subject is instructed to make a mark along the line to represent the intensity of back pain currently being experienced; 0mm is equal to no pain and 100mm is pain as severe as it could be. The clinician records the distance of the mark in millimeters from the left end of the scale.
- Number of Participants With a Change of at Least 15 Points in Pain/Disability Using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Score at 24 Months Compared With the Score at Baseline [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a commonly used outcome-measure questionnaire for low back pain in a hospital setting. It is a self-administered questionnaire divided into ten sections designed to assess limitations of various activities of daily living. Each section is scored on a 0-5 scale, 5 representing the greatest disability. The scores for all questions answered are summed, then multiplied by two to obtain the index (range 0 to 100). Zero is equated with no disability and 100 is the maximum disability possible.
