• 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 andTricks
• 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
cic stiffness encourages load sharing between implant
material and natural bone, thereby stimulating bone-healing activity (see Fig.70.2).
70.5 Planning, Preparation, andPositioning
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
3.6GPa and thus similar to that of cortical bone. This spe-

Spacer
• 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.

AG, Tuttlingen, Germany)
• 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 articial
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 sufcient).
• 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.
