Abstract

L5/S1 OLIF is a modern alternative to traditional ALIF. In this article we will review the differences between the two techniques with regards to their setup, approach, anatomical considerations, complication profile and additional advantages. We believe that OLIF Is preferable to traditional ALIF When considering ergonomics, complications and ability to perform single position anterior and posterior fusion.
