English
Authors' objectives:
This assessment updates a previous assessment (Application 1090) of artificial intervertebral disc replacement lumbar that was conducted on behalf on MSAC in 2006, and resulted in MSAC recommending interim funding for single level AIDR in patients with single level intra lumbar disc disease in the absence of osteoporosis and prior fusion at the same level, who have failed consecutive therapy. The interim listing was subject to further MSAC review in three years. The purpose of this assessment was to determine whether there is sufficient evidence, in relation to safety, effectiveness and costeffectiveness, to have lumbar artificial intervertebral disc replacement (AIDR) listed on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS).
