The nva, nvp, and nvt are intended for intervertebral body fusion in the lumbar spine in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1 of the lumbosacral spine. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. DDD patients may also have Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at involved levels. The device systems must be used with supplemental fixation and autograft to facilitate fusion and are implanted via an anterior, posterior, or transforaminal approach.
