ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) may be recommended for selected patients with conditions such as painful degenerative disc disease, spinal instability, recurrent disc problems, or certain spinal deformities. The surgeon reaches the lumbar spine through an abdominal incision, removes the damaged disc, and inserts an implant to maintain disc height and alignment. Bone graft material supports fusion between the adjacent vertebrae. Recovery commonly includes gradual mobilization, activity restrictions, and follow-up imaging to monitor fusion and alignment.
