Eligibility Criteria

19 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Age>18 years
  2. Scheduled 1 or 2-level ACDF spine surgery
  3. The capacity to provide informed consent.
  4. Subject has one or more of the following diagnoses:

    1. Degenerative Disc Disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies)
    2. Trauma (including fractures)
    3. Tumors
    4. Deformities or curvatures (including kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis)
    5. Pseudoarthrosis
    6. Failed previous fusion
    7. Decompression of the spinal cord following total or partial cervical vertebrectomy
    8. Spondylolisthesis
    9. Spinal stenosis

Exclusion Criteria Patients with any of the following conditions will be excluded, or if enrolled and found to be ineligible and do not fit the inclusion criteria, will be withdrawn from the study.

  1. Patients with current or recent history of malignancy or infectious disease.
  2. The inability to provide informed consent.
  3. Subject has marked local inflammation

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Radiological Assessment : Fusion Status
This will be used to monitor the fusion status at 1 year post-op. The fusion states was reported as the number of patients who fused. If fused, then we say "Yes". We counted the number of patients who fused. If all 20 patients fused then we said there were 20 "yes".
Arthrodesis Rates
Anterior-Posterior (AP), lateral and dynamic flexion-extension cervical spine x-rays will be used to access arthrodesis rates at different time intervals. We counted the number of patients who developed arthrodesis. The arthrodesis rate was calculated as the number of patients who developed arthrodesis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Revision Rates (if Any)
As needed, any post-operative surgical revision rates will be accessed. The revision rate was described as the number of patients who had to undergo revision post index surgery

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the efficacy of BIO4 bone matrix in patients undergoing 1 or 2-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) spine surgery. Specifically, the study aims to collect the data for ACDF model utilizing BIO4 with Bio AVS Cervical Allograft (with graft window).
Detailed Description
This is a prospective study with the intent to investigate the efficacy of BIO4 bone matrix in patients undergoing 1 or 2-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) spine surgery. At the time a patient is scheduled for surgery, the patient's chart will be evaluated for inclusion/exclusion criteria. If a patient meets the criteria for the study, the study will be explained to the patient and consent obtained. Investigators will utilize the BIO4 on label as a 361 HCT/P (human cell, tissue and cellular and tissue-based product) for homologous use for the repair, replacement or reconstruction of bone defects. Interbody fusion (1 or 2-level fusion) in conjunction with an allograft (hct/p) interbody spacer (anterior approach in the cervical spine with hardware) will be utilized. Investigators will also use the Aviator Anterior Cervical Plating System for anterior intervertebral screw fixation of the cervical spine at levels C2-T1. The Aviator Anterior Cervical Plating System is intended for use as an aid in cervical spinal fusion and is intended for unilateral fixation. The Aviator plates are intended to be used with the Aviator bone screws. Study Outcomes: Radiological assessment (cervical spine x-ray and if needed, computed tomography (CT) at 1 year follow up)of fusion as the primary endpoint Arthrodesis rates assessed using CT (1 year follow up, if needed) and Anterior-Posterior (AP), lateral and dynamic flexion-extension cervical spine x-rays pre-operative (pre-op), post-operatively (post-op) 2~4 weeks (10~34 days post op), 3 months (83~97 days post-op), 6 months (173~187 days post-op) and 1 year post-op (351~379 days post op, primary data point outcome) Revision rates Outcome scores: Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) pre-op, post-op 2~ 4weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. The null hypothesis is that in ACDF model, the clinical and radiographic outcomes of utilizing BIO4 bone matrix with Bio AVS Cervical Allograft are equivalent to historical high level published data of similar product (Data reported in Meta-analysis ACDF obtained from FDA disc arthroplasty trials).
