Details and patient eligibility

About

The first technique described for interbody fusion was the anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF).(20) For this technique, the intervertebral disc is accessed through a retroperitoneal or transperitoneal approach.

While the posterior approach was first described by Russell Hibbs in 1911, in the 1950's, Cloward (7)popularized the posterior approach for a posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).
