Wow. Is amazing! I just had a ALIF / PLIF. Two more months before I can be release for therapy. Sometimes I still feel some pain on my left leg. Maybe the nerve is still healing. I’m just scared as I don’t want to go thru this again.

Once you place these devices into the correct region, the increase now would cause tearing of the scar tissue on the nerve?

Can Fused spine bend ?

[@TrialImageInc]

Hi Bapu - no, the fused vertebrae are permanently fixed in position once fusion is complete. The unfused vertebrae above and below the fused vertebrae retain the same range of movement as prior to the surgery... trialimage.com
