Brief summary

The purpose of this post-market clinical study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the MEDICREA's systems PASS LP, PASS DEGEN, and PASS Tulip PRIME to treat degenerative diseases. This study is supporting the clinical evaluation report. From the standard-of-care perspective, the results of The Degen study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of expected safety and clinical outcomes from a short (intra- and peri-operative) to a medium-term follow-up (post-operatively).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participant Who Achieved Their Fusion at 24 MonthsAt 24monthsThe 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.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evolution of the Pain (VAS)Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperativeChange 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 ODIPreoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperativeChange of non-validated ODI score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from 0 (better) to 50 (worst)
Quality of Life With SF-12Preoperative, and 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperativeChange of non-validated SF-12 score from the preoperative visit to all available postoperative timepoints: from to 0 (better) to 5 (worst) by question, then questions are combined following the SF12 provider recommendation. The scoring yields two summary measures: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). The PCS and MCS can be between O and 100.
Surgeons'Satisfaction With These Implants and InstrumentsDuring the surgery and until the 24months postoperative visitSurgeons will be requested to complete questions about device/surgery satisfaction.
Fusion Status at the 1/6 Month and 12-month VisitAt the 1-6, and 12 months postoperativeThe primary objective is defined as the ability of the implant to promote the stabilization
Patient Satisfaction at All Available Postoperative TimepointsAt 1-6, 12 and 24 months postoperativePatient 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)
