Abstract: The internet has become the main source of information for medical conditions and treatment options. The AxiaLIF system is a novel minimally invasive fusion technique for the treatment of single-level fusion. The evidence to support the efficacy and the safety of the procedure is lacking. Our study aimed to evaluate how accurate and reliable is the information on the internet regarding the AxiaLIF.
