CP, age 60, accepts the benefits and is also eligible for a pension. Under the law, the value of an offset for such benefits is $9,000 for employees who are under 65 at the time of termination. Thus, the employer must pay CP $21,000 in severance benefits ($30,000 less $9,000).
Posterolateral disc protrusion is the most common form of damage found on spinal discs. In general, disc protrusions and herniations are categorized based on the specific type of protrusion.
A posterolateral fusion operation is similar to a posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) ; however, instead of removing the disc space and replacing it with a bone graft, the disc space remains intact and the bone graft is placed between the transverse processes in the back of the spine.n a posterolateral fusion, pedicle screws and rods also may be implanted to stabilize the spine until the bone graft heals. A single-level fusion fuses two vertebrae and usually uses four screws and two rods.
