Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational implant (INFUSE® Bone Graft/PEEK Interbody Spacer/Anterior Cervical Plate) as a method of facilitating spinal fusion at a single level from C3-C7 in patients with symptomatic cervical degenerative disc disease.

Primary Outcome

Rate of overall success is reported as the percentage of participants who met all of the following criteria: 1. fusion at the treated level; 2. pain/disability (Neck Disability Index) success; 3. neurological status success; 4. no serious adverse event classified as "implant associated" or "implant/surgical procedure associated;" 5. no additional surgical procedure classified as a "failure."
