Posterior Lumbar Fusion (PLF)

Posterior Lumbar Fusion (PLF) is a surgical procedure that aims to stabilize the lower back by connecting two or more vertebrae in the lumbar spine. Through an incision on the back, the surgeon removes damaged tissue, then places bone grafts or implants to fuse the bones together. Over time, the bones grow and solidify into a single, stable structure, reducing pain and improving stability. PLF is commonly used to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or spine fractures, helping to restore function and relieve chronic back discomfort.
