The MOJAVE Expandable Interbody System implants are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for use with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when used as an adjunct to fusion 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. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of nonoperative therapy. Additionally, the MOJAVE lumbar implants can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. MOJAVE lumbar implants are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
