AxiaLIF® (Axial Lumbar Interbody Fusion)

In this minimally-invasive procedure, performed under general anesthesia, portions of a diseased or damaged disc in the lumbar spine are removed and a device is implanted to secure one or more vertebrae to the sacrum. It is typically used to treat back pain caused by a degenerative disc between the lowest lumbar vertebra (called L5) and the top of the sacrum (called S1).
