These goals may initially be addressed by analyzing biomechanical implant function and early clinical experience, ongoing evaluation is needed to refine indications. Objective The purpose of this work was to synthesize information published on general indications for lumbar TDR.

Variations of these techniques enable different degrees of segmental, regional, and global sagittal realignment. The authors propose a comprehensive anatomical classification system for ACR and its variants based on the level of technical complexity and invasiveness. This serves as a common language and platform to stan- dardize clinical and radiographic outcomes for the utilization of ACR. METHODS The proposed classification is based on 6 anatomical grades of ACR, including anterior longitudinal liga- ment (ALL) release, with varying degrees of posterior column release or osteotomies.
