What is PLIF (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion)?
PLIF reaches the lumbar disc space from the back on both sides so that a cage and graft can sit in the disc space while screws and rods stabilize the same segment. After a posterior exposure the surgeon retracts the thecal sac and roots enough to enter the disc space, places graft and cage, then completes pedicle-screw instrumentation.
