I met with my neurosrgeon today, He says he wants to fuse L5,S1, spondylolisthesis with a PLIF using cadevor bone instead of PLIF cages.

He wants to augment fusion with BNP in front of disc space and then lay cadevor bone plif shaped cages, then lock it down with screws and rods and gutter fusion.

Have you ever heard of using cadaver bone for PLIF ?

Thank you
