Many patients are concerned about flexibility after a spinal fusion. This patient is an active 62 year old female that suffered from intractable back and leg pain. We at Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery diagnosised her with an unstable spondylolisthesis and recommended fusion. Seven (7) months ago she underwent an uneventful TLIF at our surgery center. Her main concern about fusion surgery was loss of function and flexibility. We are pleased to report that she is back to her active Colorado lifestyle.
