Postero-Lateral spinal fusion (PLF)

Posterolateral lumbar fusion is a spine surgery that involves placing a bone graft between elements in the back, or posterior, of the spine, leaving the disc space intact. The procedure may be performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Typically in this kind of fusion, metal screws and rods are placed to impart immediate stability while the bone mends and to increase the fusion rate. PLF is commonly performed for a variety of spinal conditions, such as spondylolisthesis, spinal fractures, tumours, infections, and scoliosis, among others.
