Three Patients with L4-5 Issues Benefit from Surgical Management

Three patients, each with an L4-5 issue that benefited from surgical management.

I enjoy the ability to tailor my surgical plan to suit my patients needs!

  1. Young patient with her 3rd reherniation at L4-5 requiring direct posterior decompression. Stabilization was achieved via the TLIF approach. Lordosis was restored via wide release and intradiscal distraction. With young, strong bones, implant subsidence is less of an issue.
  2. An elderly female with right sided asymmetrical disc space collapses at L4-5 resulting in foraminal stenosis and lumbar radiculopathy. Patient without instability. A standalone ALIF was used to restore foraminal height while minimizing surgical time and morbidity.
  3. A male in his 60s with a L4-5 mobile spondylolisthesis and dynamic radiculopathy. Disc space distraction was achieved via the prone lateral interbody approach. Posterior instrumentation was used to apply the final reduction maneuver to restore segmental alignment.

Dr. Ashish Patel, Orthopaedic spine surgeon, describes why he considers the SI joint in patients who consult with him about their chronic low back, pelvic, buttock and hip pain. If non-invasive treatment is no longer an option, he recommends treatment with minimally invasive SI joint fusion using the iFuse Implant System.

About Dr. Ashish Patel, MD

My training at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, a leading orthopedic hospital, created a strong desire to educate my patients regarding their neck and back condition, as I believe a well-informed patient can better participate during a joint decision-making process.
