## Indications for use
The El Capitan Anterior Lumbar Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L1-L2 to L5-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). El Capitan System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. The EL CAPITAN Spacer and Plate assembly are an integrated interbody fusion device intended for stand-alone use when used with all titanium alloy screws. When used with anchors only the zero plate may be used and the assembly is intended for use with additional supplemental fixation that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. Hyperlordotic interbody devices (>20 ° lordosis) and the Oblique interbody devices must be used with supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
