Procedure: Multilevel Lumbar Fusion surgery
Procedure in which 3 or more spinal segments are fused and concomitant pelvic fixation is performed. |
Experimental: Standard Care + iFuse 3-D
Multilevel Lumbar Fusion Surgery with additional placement of iFuse 3-D in a trajectory parallel to the S2AI screws
|
Device: iFuse 3-D in Bedrock Configuration
Procedure in which 3 or more spinal segments are fused and concomitant pelvic fixation is performed, additionally iFuse 3-D implants are placed in a trajectory parallel to the S2AI screws. Procedure: Multilevel Lumbar Fusion surgery Procedure in which 3 or more spinal segments are fused and concomitant pelvic fixation is performed. |
