Study Arms (2)

PLF

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

posterolateral fusion

Procedure: posterolateral fusion

PLIF

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

posterior lumbar interbody fusion

Procedure: posterior lumbar interbody fusion

Interventions

Instrumented posterolateral fusion is a spinal surgery that combines bone graft fusion with the use of hardware like screws and rods to stabilize the spine, correct alignment, and promote successful fusion. It's used for various spinal conditions.

Also known as: PLF
PLF

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a spinal surgery that involves removing problematic discs, inserting bone graft material, and sometimes a spacer, to promote fusion and stabilize the spine.
