An anterior surgical approach is elected to remove the disc material from L4-5 and L5-S1 and placement of implants at these levels. A plate is affixed with screws over the anterior aspect of the vertebral bodies of L4 L5 and S1 to secure the implants in place. Then, a posterior approach is followed to place hardware at these levels to stabilize the lumbar spine.
