New Tool Helps Back Surgery

What is ALIF Surgery?

ALIF stands for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion. It is a type of surgery doctors do to fix problems in your lower back. Sometimes, the discs between your backbones can get worn out or hurt. This can cause a lot of pain.

In ALIF surgery, doctors take out a bad disc. Then, they put in a special spacer to fill the space. This spacer helps your backbones grow together, like a bridge. This makes your back stronger and can stop the pain.
