There are a variety of methods to access this disc space through anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (
TLIF), posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), direct lateral or transpsoas, and oblique lumbar interbody fusion techniques.
The surgical techniques reported were DLIF or XLIF, AxialLIF, and
TLIF. Among the clinical outcomes of these studies, the operated levels was from 3 to 7, and operative time was from 2.3 to 8.5 h.
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (
TLIF) have accounted for approximately 30% of the off-label use of rhBMP-2 (11).
Loan proceeds are being used to support the ongoing commercialization of i-FACTOR's use in cervical spine procedures and help fund a FDA study on its application in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (
TLIF.)
Objective: To assess functional outcome of transforaminal lumbar inter body fusion (
TLIF) with specific reference to improvement in pain by visual analogue score (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI).
The other major complication was in an elderly obese female patient with severe spinal stenosis at L4/5, who receiving L4/5
TLIF and unilateral approach for bilateral decompression.
A variety of surgical procedures have been used for the management of the disorder; which include Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF), Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (
TLIF), and posterolateral fusion and Posterior Instrumentation (PLF).
Spine sales slipped 0.4 percent to $740 million despite (or perhaps on account of) the March acquisition of CoAlign Innovations Inc., a manufacturer of implants for lower lumbar procedures, and the November debuts of the LITe
