Lumbar Disc Herniation with Anterior Fusion Procedure - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This full color stock medical exhibit depicts an anterior lumbar disc herniation at the L5-S1 levels that resulted in the need for surgical intervention. The first image illustrates a sagittal orientation view of the spine to highlight the area of injury. Directly next to this figure is a sagittal color interpretation of the lumbar spine. A series of images then illustrate steps from the anterior fusion procedure. These steps include the incision over the anterior abdomen, the incision over the right hip to collect bone graft, the removal of herniated disc material, the preparation of the disc spaces for cage placement and the insertion of the cages.
