Default Foraminoplasty

Can anyone tell me more about this procedure? I am looking into it from a suggestion of someone here. It seems an interesting alternative to fixing the problem of annular tears and I've heard next to nothing about it. Any information greatly appreciated!

I had never heard of anything besides ADR and Fusion for high grade annular tears.
