Measure
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft
A total of 60, 120, or 180 mL of BMA to be aspirated. BMA is then placed into the Harvest SmartPrep® Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) system and concentrated to a final volume of 10, 20, or 30 mL. The BMAC will then be combined with packed allograft cancellous bone chips using the Harvest Graft Delivery Pack. The allograft bone will be obtained routinely from the bone bank in the operating suite. If using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit, the BMAC dosing estimate is as follows (BMAC to graft ratio will be 1:1): * 1-level fusion: 10 cc of BMAC from 60 cc of BMA (roughly 10 cc of graft) * 2-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 3-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 4-level fusion: 180 cc kit * 5-level fusion: 240 cc kit If not using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit: * Volume of BMAC will be slightly increased (some BMAC will not get directly into hydrating the graft as the BMAC would get lost in the hydration process and left in mixing bowls). Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft: Allograft infused with adult stem cells from the bone marrow aspirate harvested from the iliac crest. Harvest BMAC System delivers high stem cell concentration to the graft site.
Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP)
12 mL BMP will be applied at the surgical site of the interbody fusion using a collagen sponge following manufacturer's directions. The BMP kit use per level is as follows: * 1 Level Fusion: Extra small kit (1.4 cc) * 2 Level Fusion: Small Kit (2.8cc) * 3 Level Fusion: (4.2 cc) * 4 Level Fusion: Medium Kit (5.6cc) * 5 Level Fusion: (7.0 cc) Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP): INFUSE rhBMP-2 Bone Graft used according to its approved FDA labels, both from an anterior approach using titanium cages as well as from a posterior interbody approach using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages.
Autograft
As per standard of care, the control group will receive 15cc - 45 cc of allograft with autograft and bone marrow aspirate at each level. The iliac crest is the common donor site for autograft. Using the standard technique for anterior lateral fusion, the bone graft will be laid onto the desired site of fusion. Autograft: Autograft with bone marrow aspirate.

The ODI is a questionnaire used to assess the functional disability caused by low back pain. It consists of 10 questions, each rated on a scale of 0 (none) to 5 (extreme). The scores from the 10 questions are added up to obtain the raw score; the raw score is divided by the maximum possible score (50) and multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage score, interpreted as follows: 0-20%: Minimal disability, 21-40%: Moderate disability, 41-60%: Severe disability, 61-80%: Crippling disability, and 81-100%: Bedridden or completely disabled.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft
n=20 Participants
A total of 60, 120, or 180 mL of BMA to be aspirated. BMA is then placed into the Harvest SmartPrep® Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) system and concentrated to a final volume of 10, 20, or 30 mL. The BMAC will then be combined with packed allograft cancellous bone chips using the Harvest Graft Delivery Pack. The allograft bone will be obtained routinely from the bone bank in the operating suite. If using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit, the BMAC dosing estimate is as follows (BMAC to graft ratio will be 1:1): * 1-level fusion: 10 cc of BMAC from 60 cc of BMA (roughly 10 cc of graft) * 2-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 3-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 4-level fusion: 180 cc kit * 5-level fusion: 240 cc kit If not using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit: * Volume of BMAC will be slightly increased (some BMAC will not get directly into hydrating the graft as the BMAC would get lost in the hydration process and left in mixing bowls). Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft: Allograft infused with adult stem cells from the bone marrow aspirate harvested from the iliac crest. Harvest BMAC System delivers high stem cell concentration to the graft site.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft
n=20 Participants
A total of 60, 120, or 180 mL of BMA to be aspirated. BMA is then placed into the Harvest SmartPrep® Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) system and concentrated to a final volume of 10, 20, or 30 mL. The BMAC will then be combined with packed allograft cancellous bone chips using the Harvest Graft Delivery Pack. The allograft bone will be obtained routinely from the bone bank in the operating suite. If using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit, the BMAC dosing estimate is as follows (BMAC to graft ratio will be 1:1): * 1-level fusion: 10 cc of BMAC from 60 cc of BMA (roughly 10 cc of graft) * 2-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 3-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 4-level fusion: 180 cc kit * 5-level fusion: 240 cc kit If not using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit: * Volume of BMAC will be slightly increased (some BMAC will not get directly into hydrating the graft as the BMAC would get lost in the hydration process and left in mixing bowls). Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft: Allograft infused with adult stem cells from the bone marrow aspirate harvested from the iliac crest. Harvest BMAC System delivers high stem cell concentration to the graft site.

Participants rank items on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 4. The raw score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0-160; lower scores indicate lower interference from pain. The raw score is translated to give a T-score for each participant. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score ranging from 0 to 100, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher T-scores indicate greater interference from pain.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft
n=20 Participants
A total of 60, 120, or 180 mL of BMA to be aspirated. BMA is then placed into the Harvest SmartPrep® Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) system and concentrated to a final volume of 10, 20, or 30 mL. The BMAC will then be combined with packed allograft cancellous bone chips using the Harvest Graft Delivery Pack. The allograft bone will be obtained routinely from the bone bank in the operating suite. If using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit, the BMAC dosing estimate is as follows (BMAC to graft ratio will be 1:1): * 1-level fusion: 10 cc of BMAC from 60 cc of BMA (roughly 10 cc of graft) * 2-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 3-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 4-level fusion: 180 cc kit * 5-level fusion: 240 cc kit If not using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit: * Volume of BMAC will be slightly increased (some BMAC will not get directly into hydrating the graft as the BMAC would get lost in the hydration process and left in mixing bowls). Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft: Allograft infused with adult stem cells from the bone marrow aspirate harvested from the iliac crest. Harvest BMAC System delivers high stem cell concentration to the graft site.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft
n=20 Participants
A total of 60, 120, or 180 mL of BMA to be aspirated. BMA is then placed into the Harvest SmartPrep® Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) system and concentrated to a final volume of 10, 20, or 30 mL. The BMAC will then be combined with packed allograft cancellous bone chips using the Harvest Graft Delivery Pack. The allograft bone will be obtained routinely from the bone bank in the operating suite. If using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit, the BMAC dosing estimate is as follows (BMAC to graft ratio will be 1:1): * 1-level fusion: 10 cc of BMAC from 60 cc of BMA (roughly 10 cc of graft) * 2-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 3-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 4-level fusion: 180 cc kit * 5-level fusion: 240 cc kit If not using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit: * Volume of BMAC will be slightly increased (some BMAC will not get directly into hydrating the graft as the BMAC would get lost in the hydration process and left in mixing bowls). Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft: Allograft infused with adult stem cells from the bone marrow aspirate harvested from the iliac crest. Harvest BMAC System delivers high stem cell concentration to the graft site.

A total of 60, 120, or 180 mL of BMA to be aspirated. BMA is then placed into the Harvest SmartPrep® Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) system and concentrated to a final volume of 10, 20, or 30 mL. The BMAC will then be combined with packed allograft cancellous bone chips using the Harvest Graft Delivery Pack. The allograft bone will be obtained routinely from the bone bank in the operating suite. If using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit, the BMAC dosing estimate is as follows (BMAC to graft ratio will be 1:1): * 1-level fusion: 10 cc of BMAC from 60 cc of BMA (roughly 10 cc of graft) * 2-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 3-level fusion: 20 cc of BMAC from 120 cc of BMA * 4-level fusion: 180 cc kit * 5-level fusion: 240 cc kit If not using Harvest Graft Delivery Kit: * Volume of BMAC will be slightly increased (some BMAC will not get directly into hydrating the graft as the BMAC would get lost in the hydration process and left in mixing bowls). Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) + Allograft: Allograft infused with adult stem cells from the bone marrow aspirate harvested from the iliac crest. Harvest BMAC System delivers high stem cell concentration to the graft site.
Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP)
n=20 Participants
12 mL BMP will be applied at the surgical site of the interbody fusion using a collagen sponge following manufacturer's directions. The BMP kit use per level is as follows: * 1 Level Fusion: Extra small kit (1.4 cc) * 2 Level Fusion: Small Kit (2.8cc) * 3 Level Fusion: (4.2 cc) * 4 Level Fusion: Medium Kit (5.6cc) * 5 Level Fusion: (7.0 cc) Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP): INFUSE rhBMP-2 Bone Graft used according to its approved FDA labels, both from an anterior approach using titanium cages as well as from a posterior interbody approach using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages.
Autograft
n=19 Participants
As per standard of care, the control group will receive 15cc - 45 cc of allograft with autograft and bone marrow aspirate at each level. The iliac crest is the common donor site for autograft. Using the standard technique for anterior lateral fusion, the bone graft will be laid onto the desired site of fusion. Autograft: Autograft with bone marrow aspirate.
