Brief summary

The Satellite™ Retrospective Analysis is an international, retrospective, multi-center, non-interventional post-marketing study designed to document and analyze existing data with the device in a real-world setting. The purpose of this study is to evaluate number of adverse device effects (ADEs), serious adverse device effects (SADEs) and serious adverse event (SAEs) and early clinical effectiveness for the Satellite™ Nucleus Replacement in a standard clinical practice. Data collection will include information on health related quality of life (QoL), physical functioning and adverse event after nucleus replacement surgery. Radiographic measures will also be assessed to evaluate changes in disc height at the operated level and changes in segmental range of motion. All patients who were implanted with a Satellite™ Nucleus Replacement Prosthesis in the participating sites are eligible for participation in the Satellite ™ Retrospective Analysis.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Health-related Quality of Life Using the Visual Analogue Scale for Back PainUp to 12 months follow up visitThe Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a tool widely used to measure pain. It is a 10 cm scale, 0cm means 'no pain' and 10cm means 'worst possible pain'. The patients mark the location corresponding to the amount of back pain they experienced on the 10cm line.

It is a 10 cm scale, 0cm means 'no pain' and 10cm means 'worst possible pain'. The patients mark the location corresponding to the amount of back pain they experienced on the 10cm line.
Physical Functioning Using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)Up to 12 months follow up visitThe Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) derives from the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire, it is used to measure disability for low back pain. The index is scored from 0 to 50; 0 meaning 'no disability' and 50 meaning 'maximum disability'.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Range of Motion (ROM) at Implanted LevelUp to 12 months follow up visitThe range of motion (ROM) was calculated as the angle of the segment on the flexion radiograph minus the angle of the segment on the extension radiograph, expressed in degrees (absolute value).
Intervertebral Disc Space (IVD) at Implanted LevelUp to 12 months follow up visitThe Intervertebral Disc Space (IVD) was measured as average disc height, calculated as \[(A+B)/2\]/H, where A is the posterior intervertebral disc height, B is the anterior intervertebral disc height and H is the anterior height of upper vertebral body.
Device Subsidence Measured as Interbody Height Ratio (IBHR)Up to 12 months follow up visitInterbody Height Ratio (IBHR) is calculated as the total vertical height of the two vertebral bodies directly superior and inferior to the implant divided by the anteroposterior diameter of the superior vertebral body.
