What are the different surgical techniques for spinal fusions? 🤔

Dr. Chappuis Chat 🥼🩺✨ What are the different surgical techniques for spinal fusions? 🤔
✨ Some surgeons may insert screws from the back for a more invasive approach, but we find this unnecessary for one-level fusions. For two or more levels, it may be more relevant.
✨ For single-layer issues, Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) has a success rate of over 90%, and nearly 100% when using bone morphogenetic protein (BMPs) to promote healing.
