Axialif Query

[joel]

Hi Justin,
I was just wondering if you knew anything about the Axialif approach and if it has been very successful so far. I am interested in this approach but am concerned about revision accessability and the possibility of future sacroiliac joint problems.
Thanks,
joel.

Hey Joel,

I've seen this device for fusion and it looks promising for many patients. The approach is very interesting--a small incision is made lateral to the coccyx to access the disc space of the L5/S1 disc through the sacral promontory.

Here's the AxiaLIF® website for surgeons--the website has animations, publications, indications / contraindication / warnings, clinical experience, etc.

AxiaLIF® Website for Surgeons (has more resources)

AxialLIF® Website for Patients

I've also attached a free abstract about using the AxialLIF® at 2-levels (L4/L5 and L5/S1).

I hope this helps.
