Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Indications

• Segmental instability requiring fusion for stabilization.

• Recurrent disk herniation and broad-based herniation.

• Symptomatic spinal stenosis with a significant back pain component that would benefit from fusion.

• Degenerative disk disease with a significant back pain component.

• Spondylolisthesis that is progressive, is symptomatic, or requires decompression with a need to fuse spondylolisthetic level.

• Correction of degenerative scoliosis requiring fusion segments.

• Salvage for pseudarthrosis of a previous intertransverse fusion or arthroplasty in the absence of epidural scarring.
