Which procedure is better for lumbar interbody fusion: anterior lumbar interbody fusion or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion?

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2012
Both anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgeries are performed to obtain a solid fusion to treat lumbar spondylosis. This systematic review investigated whether surgical complications, nonfusion rate, radiographic outcome, and clinical outcome of ALIF were significantly different from those of ...

Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion

2012
Interbody fusion performed by placing spacers or graft materials via a transfacetar route is named transarticular lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). TLIF is typically performed via a unilateral approach and can be performed via a standard open approach with a midline lumbar incision or in a less-invasive mini-open fashion (see Chap. 49).

Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002
Indication and technique of TLIF procedure are described. TLIF provides for anterior column support and posterior tension band. It is a unilateral approach to the spine, and there is no need to expose or manipulate the dura. It provides the benefits of a 360 degrees fusion without performing an anterior approach.

Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques, 2015
Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) is performed via tubular dilators thereby preserving the integrity of the paraspinal musculature. The decreased soft tissue disruption in the MIS technique has been associated with significantly decreased blood loss, shorter length of hospitalization, and an expedited return to work ...

Outcomes of extended transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for lumbar spondylosis

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2015
This study aims to assess the results of extended transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for a two surgeon, single institution series. In total, extended TLIF with bilateral decompression was performed in 57 patients. Pain, American Spinal Injury Association scores, patient demographics, body mass index (BMI), perioperative indices and ...
