A MUSCLE-SPARING, NERVE AVOIDANCE PROCEDURE

Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (OLIF) procedures by Medtronic offer a complete, minimally invasive solution for the correction of degenerative and deformity spinal conditions. These procedures allow access from L2 to S1 from a single position, without repositioning the patient.

By utilizing an oblique lateral approach to the spine, OLIF Procedures enable placement of a large interbody graft on to the apophysis, the strongest part of a vertebral body. The graft provides anterior column support while avoiding risks and obstacles associated with traditional anterior, posterior, and direct lateral approaches.
