• After closure of the fascia and skin, an identical proce­dure is carried out on the contralateral side (see Figs.69.19, 69.20, and 69.21).
69.7 Tips andTricks
• The K-wires should remain securely in position through­out the entire procedure and must not slip out before the screws are inserted. The wires are long enough to be held in place by hand during the different surgical steps.
• The tip of the K-wire should be monitored uoroscopi­cally to ensure that it does not penetrate the anterior wall of the vertebral body.
• The K-wires should be kept parallel to one another during insertion.

70.1 Introduction and Core Messages
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a treat­ment option currently used for degenerative disk dis­eases [1] and was introduced by Cloward in the 1940s [2]. Interbody fusion probably results in the most sta­ble construction for intersegmental spinal fusion. Anterior column support is provided via a posterior approach, and the disk height is restored in order to open the neural foramen. A PLIF procedure is espe­cially attractive in cases where a posterior approach is needed anyway, for example, for nerve root or spinal canal decompression. Different devices are available including allograft spacers, titanium spacers with or without a Plasmapore coating, tantalum spacers, and titanium or PEEK cages. This chapter describes the posterior technique for implanting an interbody spacer or cage. These implants are used to obtain 360° fusion.

70.4.1 Plasmapore-Coated Spacer
The heart of the disk implant is a solid core. The core is coated with Plasmapore to increase the area of contact between the implant and the end plates. The implant is made of ISOTAN F, a titanium alloy, which also has a Plasmapore coating. Plasmapore is a well-established pure titanium coat­ing material, which offers an optimal foundation for the ingrowth of bone due to its balanced relationship among pore depth, porosity, and roughness. Plasmapore promotes osteointegration and osteoconduction without requiring additional bone graft material [1].
The aim of the Plasmapore coating is to achieve both pri­mary and secondary stability. The increased surface roughness of the Plasmapore coating, in combination with a posterior xation device, ensures immediate primary stabil­ity of the motion segment. Bone growth into the coating is rapid, owing to the optimal properties of Plasmapore. This results in bone fusion between vertebrae and implant (sec­ondary stability).
70.4.2 PEEK Cages
cic stiffness encourages load sharing between implant material and natural bone, thereby stimulating bone-heal­ing activity (see Fig.70.2).
70.5 Planning, Preparation, andPositioning
The patient is placed in a prone position. A radiolucent oper­ating table is recommended to ensure unobstructed intraop­erative uoroscopic visualization in the anteroposterior (AP) and lateral planes. The elbows and knees are appropriately padded. The abdomen must be free. The lumbar spine should be in natural lordosis.
70.6 Surgical Technique
70.6.1 Approach
A midline incision is performed over the levels to be instru­mented. The muscle should not be stripped more laterally than the lateral aspects of the facet joints unless posterolat­eral fusion between transverse processes is planned.
PEEK stands for polyetheretherketone. The use of PEEK as an orthopedic device material has become increasingly popular in recent years owing to the material’s unique combination of characteristics. Its properties include radiolucency, high mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and compatibility with standard sterilization methods. The intrinsic radioscopic transparency of the material gives it permeability on X-rays and CT scans, making it possible to view bone growth adjacent to the implant. Of particular interest is the modulus of elasticity of PEEK, which is
3.6GPa and thus similar to that of cortical bone. This spe-

• Bone resection
• The bone is resected using an osteotome and Kerrison bone
punch to gain access to the intervertebral space. Alternatively, bone can be removed at the joints using a chisel or high­speed burr. The bone that has been removed is stored in a container under gauze to serve as graft material.

• Revealing the disk space
• The dura and upper nerve root are carefully retracted in the desired direction using the nerve root retractors (see Fig.70.3). Often, large epidural veins need to be cauter­ized to permit visualization of the posterolateral disk annulus. This must be done carefully, using bipolar cau­tery to prevent damage to the nerve roots.
• Restoration of disk height
• In order to make room for the insertion of the distractor, the disk material is now resected using rongeurs and for­ceps. Distraction can be set to the required height using the distractors (see Fig.70.4). The distractors are inserted one after the other on alternate sides of the disk until the desired distraction is obtained (see Fig.70.5).
• Clearance of the intervertebral space
• Besides rongeurs and curettes, reamers and rasps can also be used to prepare the intervertebral space. Turning the instrument will remove disk material (see Fig. 70.6). Using the rasps, the cartilaginous end plates are refreshed (see Fig.70.7). The annulus has to be cleaned out as com­pletely as possible, and the end plates need to be freed from cartilage, taking care not to perforate the bone.
• Preparation of the implant bed

• Any unevenness of the borders of the implant bed can be smoothed using the broach. The sharp leading edge of the instrument permits simple bone resection to the dimen­sions required (see Figs.70.7 and 70.8). The implant bed is now prepared, and the implant can be inserted.

• Either a straight implant (0°) or a lordotic implant (5° or 8°) can be used, depending on the particular level and anatomy. The implant is connected to the inserter by engaging the thread using the Allen key connected to the instrument (see Fig.70.9). The spacer is introduced on the at side and turned clockwise in order to spread the disk space. The implant is then brought into its nal vertical position. The position of the implant can be corrected with the impactor (see Fig.70.10).

• Insertion on the contralateral side The operative steps described above are now repeated
for the contralateral side. Bone material can be packed between both implants. Additional posterior stabilization of the segment should be performed (see Figs.70.10 and
70.11).

• The disk space is cleared using rongeurs, bone curettes, and rectangular curettes. Bone rasps are used to refresh the cartilaginous end plates (see Figs.70.12 and 70.13).
• Determination of implant size using trial implants
• Trial implants are available in different sizes and with dif­ferent angulations. Trial implants are inserted in turn, starting with the smallest size. Each is inserted horizon­tally and rotated clockwise (see Figs.70.13 and 70.14). Progressively, taller trial implants are inserted until the required distraction has been achieved. The trial implant now in place indicates the height, angle, and length of the implant to be inserted.
• Insertion of the PEEK cage
• After lling the PEEK implant with bone graft or articial bone substitute, the implant is clamped to the PEEK insertion instrument (see Figs. 70.14 and 70.15) and inserted in the intervertebral space (see Figs.70.15 and
70.16). The cage is lled with nely milled autologous
bone (the resected bone from the spinous processes and the facet joints will generally be sufcient).
• Insertion on the contralateral side.
• The operative steps described are now repeated for the contralateral side. Bone material can be packed between both implants.
• Posterior stabilization
• Additional posterior stabilization of the segment should be performed.
