ALIF (anterior lumbar interbody fusion) is a power tool in our surgical arsenal as spine surgeons to decompress the neural elements, restore sagittal alignment, and to achieve a solid fusion.

This patient presented to my office with a severe radiculopathy (leg pain) secondary to large disc extrusions at the level proximal to her previous fusion. We attempted to stay conservative and initially managed it with a decompression, but this was unfortunately not long lasting. She was taken for an ALIF with extension of her hardware posteriorly. She had immediate relief of her leg pain.
