Arm Label

CALIBER

Arm Description

1 or 2 levels of DDD between L2 and S1, treated with transforaminal interbody fusion

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Fusion and Disc Height Maintenance
Inter-vertebral disc height in millimetres at 24 month follow up.
Fusion Assessment
An assessment of the fusion status of surgically treated spinal levels.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Patient Self Assessment
Oswestry Disability Index. A 10 item questionnaire with responses scored 0 to 5 and then presented as a percentage score from 0 to 100, with higher scores denoting more disability.
Visual Analog Scale for Back Pain
A visual scale from 0 to 100 in which the patient responds with their pain level by marking on the line, higher as more severe pain.
