- Fusion [ Time Frame: At 24months ]The primary endpoint is the fusion status of each patient at the 24-month visit postoperative. This fusion assessment will be done through the analysis of the standard of care imaging (CT-scan, X-rays, and/or MRI) by the investigator and through the clinical examination of the patient by the investigator.
- Evolution of the pain (VAS) [ Time Frame: Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative ]Change of leg and back pain score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from 0 (better) to 10 (worst)
- Quality of life with ODI [ Time Frame: Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative ]Change of non-validated ODI score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from 0 (better) to 5 (worst)
- Quality of life with SF-12 [ Time Frame: Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative ]Change of non-validated SF-12 score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from to 0 (better) to 3 or 5 depending the question (worst)
- Device or procedure-related adverse events and all SAEs up to 24 months [ Time Frame: Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative ]During the follow-up period, the occurrence of device and procedure related AEs and all serious adverse events will be monitored, registered, and analyzed. To safeguard the safety of the clinical study subjects, all SAEs will be collected even those that may not be directly related to the surgery.
- Surgeons'satisfaction with these implants and instruments [ Time Frame: During the surgery and until the 24months postoperative visit ]Surgeons will be requested to complete questions about device/surgery satisfaction.
- Fusion status at the 1/6 month and 12-month visit [ Time Frame: At the 1-6, and 12 months postoperative ]The primary objective is defined as the ability of the implant to promote the stabilization
- Patient satisfaction at all available postoperative timepoints [ Time Frame: At 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperative ]
Patient satisfaction is used to evaluate patient satisfaction after surgery and during the follow-up period.
Satisfaction is measured at four different levels: 1 (better) to 4 (worst)
