## Indications for use
The Stryker Spine AVS® Anchor-L Lumbar Cage System is an intervertebral body fusion device indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of nonoperative therapy. The AVS® Anchor-L Lumbar Cage System is to be implanted via an open, anterior approach. The AVS® Anchor-L Lumbar Cage System may be used as an intervertebral device with integrated fixation or in conjunction with supplemental fixation. When used as an intervertebral device with integrated fixation, the AVS® Anchor-L Lumbar Cage must be used with the three internal screws and plate fixation provided by AVS® Anchor-L Fixation Screws and Clip Plate. If AVS® Anchor-L is used with less than three or none of the provided screws, additional supplemental fixation that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbosacral spine must be used to augment stability. The accompanying Clip Plate must be used anytime the device is used with any number of screws.
