Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
A lower-back surgery for disc problems that fuses two or more bones to stop painful motion and correct alignment.
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a surgery to treat disc problems in the lower back.
How it works
Fusion locks together two or more bones to stop painful motion and correct alignment. It also gives the surgeon the ability to decompress one or more spinal nerves.
Potential benefits
Compared with some other spinal fusion approaches, ALIF can mean less pain and a faster recovery, with a high degree of stability.
