A bionic spine is an artificial body part that acts a total spine replacement. It provides 100% efficiency, the same as an organic spine.
Acquisition
Bionic spines can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Bionic replacements research project has been completed. They require 15 Plasteel, 4 Advanced components, 26,000 ticks (7.22 mins) of work, and a Crafting skill of 8.
They can also be found in ancient shrines, offered as a quest reward, or bought from exotic traders, Empire traders, and at Outlander faction bases.

Analysis
As it does not provide additional efficiency, it's best as a replacement for a bad spine. Bionic spines can cure colonists with scarred or shattered spines, as well as the bad back condition from old age. Bad backs and scars are only otherwise curable with luciferium, a healer mech serum, biosculpter pod
bioregeneration cycle, or the scarless gene,
which is naturally found on Sanguophages. A shattered spine can only otherwise be cured by a healer mech serum.
The bionic spine can also be useful to give to body modders for a mood buff without affecting any stats. However, you could install (up to) 2 bionic eyes, 2 legs, and 2 arms. Installing all 6 parts will get you the maximum mood buff, for the same price, with each part giving a stat boost instead of none.
