## Indications for use
The Minuteman G5 MIS Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single interspace in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving instrumented posterior arthrodesis (i.e., fusion) in the following conditions: * Lumbar spinal stenosis; * degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or * spondylolisthesis. The Minuteman G5 MIS Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a lateral transverse approach (L1-S1) or a posterior approach (T1-S1). The Minuteman G1 (Posterior Fusion Plate/HA Posterior Fusion Plate) is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single interspace in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving instrumented posterior arthrodesis (i.e., fusion) in the following conditions: * Lumbar spinal stenosis; * degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or * spondylolisthesis. The Minuteman G1 (Posterior Fusion Plate/HA Posterior Fusion Plate) is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a lateral transverse approach (L1-S1) or a posterior approach (T1-S1). The HA Minuteman G3-R MIS Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single interspace in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving instrumented posterior arthrodesis (i.e., fusion) in the following conditions: * Lumbar spinal stenosis; * degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or * spondylolisthesis. The HA Minuteman G3-R MIS Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a lateral transverse approach (L1-S1). The Minuteman G3/HA Minuteman G3 MIS Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single interspace in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving instrumented posterior arthrodesis (i.e., fusion) in the following conditions: * Lumbar spinal stenosis; * degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or * spondylolisthesis. The Minuteman G3/HA Minuteman G3 MIS Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a lateral transverse approach (L1-S1) or a posterior approach (T1-S1).
