Posterior Lumbar Inter-body Fusion (PLIF)

Introduction to PLIF
Like with other spinal fusion surgeries, a posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery involves adding bone graft to the spine to set up a biological response that causes the bone to grow between the two vertebral elements and stop the motion at that segment. Unlike posterolateral gutter fusion, PLIF achieves spinal fusion in the low back by inserting a bone graft and/or spinal implant directly into the disc space. When the surgery is performed from the back, it is called a posterior lumbar inter body fusion (PLIF). It is often supplemented by a simultaneous posterolateral spine fusion surgery.

Post-Operative Care after PLIF

Most patients are usually able to go home 3-5 days after surgery. Before patients go home, physical therapists and occupational therapists work with patients and instruct them on proper techniques of getting in and out of bed and walking independently. Patients are instructed to avoid bending at the waist, lifting (more than five pounds), and twisting in the early postoperative period (first 2-4 weeks) to avoid a strain injury. Patients can gradually begin to bend, twist, and lift after 4-6 weeks as the pain subsides and the back muscles get stronger.
