Subject is to be treated with on-label use of an FDA-cleared TLIF or PLIF cage(s)and pedicle screw system independent of this research protocol;
The subject has a primary diagnosis of symptomatic lumbar degeneration with orwithout foraminal or recess stenosis of the lumbar spine at a single level fromL1/L2 to L5/S1 confirmed by subject history and radiographic imaging (CT, MRI,X-rays) with no more than a Grade 1 (<25% translation) spondylolisthesis.Symptomatic lumbar degeneration that may be associated with a co-morbid conditionsuch as:

Spondylosis (defined by the presence of osteophytes);
Disc degeneration and/or annular degeneration; and/or
Lumbar stenosis defined by spinal cord or nerve root compression;
Exhausted conservative treatment (e.g. bed rest, physical therapy, medications,transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), manipulation, and/or spinalinjections) for at least 3 months or has a neurologic emergency;
Preoperative Oswestry Disability Index score >/= 40/100 at baseline;
Psychosocially, mentally and physically able and willing to fully comply with thisprotocol including adhering to follow-up schedule and requirements and filling outforms; and

Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
More than one vertebral level requiring treatment;
Previous instrumented surgery (i.e.: anterior disc replacement, spinal fusion,interspinous device, etc.) at the index lumbar level or an adjacent level;
Degenerative or lytic spondylolisthesis greater than Grade 1 (<25% translation);
Rotatory scoliosis at the level to be treated;
Congenital bony and/or spinal cord abnormalities at the level to be treated;
Subcaudal defect, disrupting the integrity of the pedicle;
Clinically compromised vertebral bodies at the involved level due to current or pasttrauma, e.g., by the radiographic appearance of the fracture callus, malunion ornonunion;
Disrupted anterior longitudinal ligament at the index level;
Overlying thoracolumbar kyphosis (greater than or equal to 15 degrees) within onelevel (includes target and adjacent level) of the level to be treated;

Unable to undergo a CT scan or other radiograph assessments;
Osteopenia: The SCORE/MORES will be utilized for all females age <50 and males age <55 to screen if a DEXA scan is indicated. If SCORE/MORES value ≥ 6, then a DEXAscan is required. A DEXA scan is indicated for all females age ≥50 and all males age ≥55. If DEXA is required, exclusion will be defined as a DEXA bone density measuredT score ≤ -1. An existing DEXA is allowed if completed within 6 months of subjectscreening;
