Is xlif surgery appropriate for l4 l5 fusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be: Is that the only level involved. Are other levels also damaged. You could first consider prolotherapy to stabilize the back with out surgery. Can always do surgery. Visit www.Getprolo.Com or www.Aaomed.Org for info on prolotherapy and to find a doctor to help you and give you another opinion.
