INTRODUCTION
mLumbarPosteriorInterbodyFusionCage is a series of 3D animation and text movies with English voice-over, each with an image library from the movie, that introduces the viewer to the posterior lumbar interbody fusion with cage surgical procedure using easy to understand 3D anatomically accurate animated movies.
mPLIFcage is designed to be used by anyone seeking an introductory understanding of the posterior lumbar interbody fusion with cage surgical procedure.
mPLIFcage is part of the Lumbar Spine Library of patient education applications.
FEATURES
Receiving text descriptions or still image education about complicated three-dimensional surgery is inefficient and often ineffective. This is especially so for newcomers to human anatomy.

Tap on the blue circle to see the still image library. Tap on the movie screen to reveal the movie scroll and audio volume control bars.
