Spinal reconstruction often involves two complementary procedures that work together to stabilize and align the spine. The first is a posterior spinal fusion (PSF) that uses a system of rods and screws placed along the back of the spine to provide stability and maintain proper alignment.
The second component involves anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) that uses spacers called interbody cages placed between the vertebrae through an anterior (front) approach. These spacers help restore proper disc height and spinal alignment while promoting bone growth between the vertebrae.

This spine fusion hardware was placed at the Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. The procedure was carried out by a team of surgeons from the Baylor Scott & White Spine & Scoliosis Center, including Dr. Avramis, Dr. Rizkalla, and Dr. Chivarria.
