At OrthoNeuro, our Board Certified Spine Surgeons have helped thousands of patients return to an active and healthy lifestyle after a Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion.

How Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion is Performed

At OrthoNeuro, a Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion can be performed as an outpatient or inpatient procedure based on what you and your OrthoNeuro Spine Surgeon feel are best for you.

During a Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion procedure:

1. The disc is removed. The damaged or herniated intervertebral disc is removed.
2. The disc is replaced. A bone graft filled implant is carefully placed between adjacent vertebrae.
3. The implant is fixated. Rods or plates and screws fixate adjacent vertebrae so they may fuse to form a single solid bone.

Depending upon your unique condition there are several types of Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion approaches:

• Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
• Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
• Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
• Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (XLIF)
