Lumbar Artificial Vertebra – PLIF and TLIF Components

PLIF and TLIF components are among the most important intervertebral implants in lumbar spine surgeries and are used as a replacement for the destroyed disc space between the vertebrae. By being placed in the intervertebral space, these components restore disc height, reduce pressure on the nerve roots, and create suitable conditions for vertebral fusion. The PLIF component is designed to be placed in the disc space through a posterior approach to the spine and creates high stability in the lumbar region by providing a wide contact surface. The TLIF component, due to its special shape and entry angle, is inserted through a transforaminal approach and allows easier placement with minimal pressure on neural tissues. These components are made of resistant and medically standard materials such as PEEK, and their internal space is designed for placing bone graft to achieve the best possible vertebral fusion process. PLIF and TLIF artificial vertebrae play a significant role in reconstructing the natural structure of the spine, increasing stability, and reducing pain caused by disc damage or degeneration. They are considered among the most commonly used lumbar implants in orthopedic surgeries.
