Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of a decompression using the FDA cleared iO-Flex® System on-label in treating patients with spinal stenosis and stable grade I degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis using a precision estimate assuming a 55% positive response rate.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center (up to 30 sites) controlled clinical study enrolling 100 subjects following a pre-specified protocol with no site enrolling more than 30 subjects. All eligible subjects providing written informed consent and meeting study eligibility criteria will receive a facet preserving decompression using the FDA cleared iO-Flex® system on label. Treatment success using the iO-Flex® System will be analyzed using a precision estimate assuming a 55% positive response rate.

In addition to baseline characteristics and procedural parameters, subject outcomes will be assessed at 6 weeks, 6-, 12-, and 24 months. The study will have an extended follow-up phase with annual follow-up contact through 5 years to evaluate retreatment for the original indication at these late time points.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Adult (\> 18 years of age)
2. Leg/buttock pain, with or without back pain
3. Grade 1 degenerative spondylolisthesis (≤25% slippage)
4. NRS pain score for leg pain of 4/10 or greater
5. ODI score of 30/100 or greater
6. Failed non-operative medical management for a period of at least 6 months
7. Confirmed clinical diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis
8. Confirmation of central and/or lateral recess stenosis with or without foraminal stenosis, at one level or at two adjacent levels from L2-S1, with concordant symptoms. Subjects with central and/or lateral recess stenosis and spondylolisthesis at one level, may have symptomatic central, lateral recess or foraminal stenosis treated at one adjacent level. A "below-the pedicle" pass to decompress a third segment can be completed provided laminotomies are performed at no more than 2 levels. Subjects that, following an intraoperative decision, have a 3-level laminotomy and decompression will not be considered enrolled. Confirmation of spinal stenosis is shown on MRI or CT scan with evidence of nerve root impingement (displacement or compression) by either osseous or non-osseous elements.
9. Ability to give voluntary, written informed consent to participate in this clinical investigation and ability to participate in follow up examinations and complete patient questionnaires

Exclusion Criteria

1. Back pain only
2. Diagnosis of moderate to severe peripheral neuropathy such as diabetic or idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, by EMG/NCS or a Neurologist.
3. History of pathologic fractures of the vertebrae
4. Primary disc pathology; planned or incidental discectomies will NOT be excluded as long as surgeon believes the disc pathology is not the primary reason for the surgical intervention.
5. Subjects for whom removal of the midline structures is planned, likely or is the result of an intraoperative decision; every attempt should be made to spare the supraspinous, interspinous and facet capsular ligaments.
6. Significant instability of the lumbar spine as defined by ≥ 4mm translational motion between standing lateral view flexion and extension radiographs
7. Prior surgery of the lumbar spine
8. Spondylolisthesis greater than grade 1 (on a scale of 1 to 4)
9. Spondylolysis (pars fracture) at any level in the lumbar spine
10. Degenerative lumbar scoliosis with a Cobb angle of ≥ 25°
11. Vascular claudication in the lower extremities
12. Cauda equina syndrome
13. Evidence of active (systemic or local) infection at time of surgery
14. Paget's disease at involved segment or metastasis to the vertebra, osteomalacia, or other metabolic bone disease
15. Tumor in the spine or a malignant tumor except for basal cell carcinoma.
16. Prisoner or transient
17. Any significant psychological disturbance past or present, psychotic or neurotic that could impair the consent process or ability to complete subject self-report questionnaires
18. Involved in pending litigation of the spine or worker's compensation related to the back
19. Inability to communicate clearly in the English language
20. Morbid obesity (BMI \> 40)
21. Pregnant, nursing, or planning on becoming pregnant.
22. History of narcotic abuse
23. Current involvement in another drug or device clinical trial
24. Uncontrolled diabetes
25. Irreversible coagulopathy or bleeding disorder (patients on anticoagulant therapy may participate. Investigators should follow routine practices for perioperative discontinuation and reinitiation of anticoagulants.)
26. Plans to relocate in the next 2 years
27. Subject unwilling to undergo a blood transfusion, if necessary
