ABSTRACT
An increasingly popular method for lumbar arthrodesis is transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) (1-5). In a manner similar to posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) (6,7), TLIF provides for a 3608 spinal fusion. Traditional posterolateral onlay techniques have been reported to have lower arthrodesis rates than interbody lumbar fusion techniques (8-12).
