T TLIF Cage—Surgical Technique Guide
3
Zimmer Biomet Spine does not practice
medicine. This technique was developed in
conjunction with health care professionals.
This document is intended for surgeons
and is not intended for laypersons. Each
surgeon should exercise his or her own
independent judgment in the diagnosis and
treatment of an individual patient, and this
information does not purport to replace
the comprehensive training surgeons have
received. As with all surgical procedures, the
technique used in each case will depend on
the surgeon’s medical judgment as the best
treatment for each patient. Results will vary
based on health, weight, activity and other
variables. Not all patients are candidates
for this product and/or procedure.
