Abstract
Over the past 2 decades, posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with pedicle screw instrumentation has gained popularity. Anterior fusion techniques, however, have evolved over time and currently allow for minimally invasive anterior retroperitoneal diskectomy, interbody graft placement, and rigid instrumentation. A direct comparison of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) with anterior tension band plating to that of instrumented PLIF has not been previously reported.

“It feels like I’m stepping on a hot nail in my heel when I get out of bed in the morning.”
“Once I get going, I don’t sit down even for lunch. I dread the drive home because I know that my heel is going to kill me when I get out of the car.”
Sound familiar? These common complaints make the diagnosis of Sub-calcaneal heel pain syndrome (Better known as Plantar fasciitis or Heel spur) easy. It’s the treatment that can be challenging.
