    Summary

    Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) offers dynamic neural decompression. A refined PLIF technique utilizing four biomechanical principles achieved an 88% fusion rate in 465 cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Spine surgery
    • Orthopedics
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) is a surgical technique for lumbar spine stabilization.
    • Dynamic decompression of neural structures is a key advantage of PLIF.
    • Optimizing fusion rates and clinical outcomes in PLIF remains an area of surgical focus.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a refined PLIF technique based on biomechanical principles.
    • To evaluate the fusion rate and clinical outcomes of this technique.
    • To analyze results across various lumbar pathologies.

    Main Methods:

    • A specific PLIF technique was developed incorporating four biomechanical principles.
    • These principles include preserving posterior motion segment integrity, partial end-plate integrity, maximal disc removal, and using one-piece autogenous bone grafts ('unigraft' concept).
    • A series of 465 PLIF cases with at least one-year follow-up were retrospectively analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • The refined PLIF technique achieved an 88% fusion rate.
    • Satisfactory clinical results were observed in 82% of the cases.
    • The study investigated outcomes in lateral herniated disc, midline disc, degenerative disc, recurrent disc, spinal stenosis, and unstable spine.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented PLIF technique, emphasizing specific biomechanical principles, yields high fusion and satisfactory clinical results.
    • PLIF is a valuable surgical option for managing diverse lumbar disc diseases.
    • The 'unigraft' concept contributes to compact bone graft incorporation and fusion.
