I am a 79- year-old male and had the L3, L4, and L5 fusion done in January 2022. The surgery was done in two stages. ALIF and XLIF on January 31, 2022 and PLIF the next day, on March 1, 2022. Owing to the "brittleness" of the iliac artery and vein which could not be moved, S1-L5 fusion was not done. Attached are pictures three months after the surgery. I am sure you will look-up the acronyms and find the read very interesting. I am living at a pain level of 0 to 1 without painkillers. My surgeon is a saint for performing this miracle and giving me back a quality of life which I am enjoying! I have been following the PT regimen at home since the surgery,
