Fusion of the anterior column with placement of interbody fusion cages is commonly employed in the treatment of
instability-related degenerative disc disease that has been proven refractory in non-operative treatment. Interbody
fusion cages aid in the containment of bone graft, promotion of more reliable fusion, and restoration of
neuroforaminal height. The VariLift® Interbody Fusion System (VariLift® system) has been developed as a standalone
solution to address subsidence and migration problems seen with traditional lumbar interbody fusion cages

patients describes patient selection criteria and the technical aspects of this novel endoscopic transforaminal lumbar
interbody fusion technique in a step-by-step f.. Read More»
