Clinical and radiological results of indirect decompression after anterior lumbar interbody fusion in central spinal canal stenosis.

CONCLUSIONS: ALIF can serve as a suitable alternative to extensive posterior approaches. The authors suggest that ALIF can be used for decompression in central spinal canal stenosis as well as restoration of the foraminal dimensions, thus allowing decompression of the nerve roots.
