Guest: Ibrahim Hussain, M.D.

Neurological spine surgeon Dr. Ibrahim Hussain explains how expandable cages are being used in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions to optimize patient outcomes. These cages can be inserted with a very low profile to restore height and lordosis, and enable a faster recovery.

At Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian, surgeons are pursuing innovative solutions to provide a better quality of life for patients with degenerative disc disease and other spine conditions.
